Please fill in the survey linked above. 15:10:39 Julie: They need to have the conformance discussion before TPAC, so they are planning to have lengthy meetings on those days when people are available. It is unclear at this time how the meeting will be scheduled to include people from multiple time zones. 15:10:56 Julie: The survey is open until tomorrow, April 28th. 15:11:03 LenB has joined #coga 15:11:08 present+ 15:11:14 Julie: We would like to have a lot of COGA people present at these meetings, if possible. 15:11:32 zakim, next item 15:11:32 agendum 5 -- do we want a new time for the reaserch call -- taken up [from Lisa] 15:12:01 Julie: COGA Research call is currently meeting on Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m. Boston time. 15:12:20 Time conflicted with my teaching schedule, but the semester is now over 15:12:31 Lisa: We are not getting a lot of attendance. Do we need a different time, or are people just feeling overwhelmed. If we rescheduled the call, would it help anyone attend? 15:13:28 (Note: after this week - we're in the final week so I won't be able to attend tomorrow) 15:13:58 Julie: Maybe we should send an email to the full task force? 15:14:48 Lisa: I wrote to Eric and everyone else who has been active is mostly here, with the exception of Rashmi, so it might be okay to just discuss this with this group. 15:15:08 Lisa: There are some things I need to coordinate with Eric, but he has recently started a new job. 15:15:54 Q? 15:15:55 Lisa: I think it's just been that people have had conflicts. I am not hearing anyone wanting us to change the time. 15:16:44 Lisa: It sounds like we should stick with the same time and hope that we can get more people to join. 15:16:46 zakim, next item 15:16:46 agendum 6 -- WCAG 3 conformance meeting — scheduling survey closes April 27th -- taken up [from julierawe] 15:17:01 We already covered this survey, which closes April 28th. 15:17:07 zakim, next item 15:17:07 agendum 6 was just opened, julierawe 15:17:13 zakim, take up item 4 15:17:13 agendum 4 -- New guidence name. please fill in https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gF4IfzgTL_ftz7i-07QYrZoR8MVOe8Mwo11Rv4uCVMI/edit?gid=0#gid=0 -- taken up [from Lisa] 15:17:48 Julie: We want to discuss a possible new name for Content Usable. Lisa put together a spreadsheet, asking people to vote. 15:18:44 Julie: There are suggested names in Column A. Add your name to a column and then vote. 15:19:47 Julie: Is the word "protocol" okay with our parent groups? 15:20:27 Lisa: Yes - we talked with Rachael. Janina liked the word "guidance" more than "protocol," but Rachael told us that we could not use "guidance." 15:21:45 Lisa: We need to add some details in the Comments section so that people will know what we have explored and why those ideas may have been rejected by parent groups 15:22:24 Julie: Someone had asked a question about road 5 (it says, "to be added to the name") - it does not say it's the new name 15:23:08 Lisa: Several people felt it was important to point out that COGA is addressing digital content vs. brick and mortar (real world - not digital) 15:23:42 Lisa: If they like "Cognitive Accessibility", then it might need to be "Cognitive Accessibility for Digital Content." 15:24:28 John: I find it confusing to go to a higher level of digital content - are we under the umbrella of web content, or not? 15:24:46 Q? 15:24:57 Julie: There is a debate in AG about possibly broadening the scope from web to also include things like apps 15:25:33 Lisa: If we include "... for Digital Content" to the name, then we might be opening ourselves up to people not liking that. 15:25:45 John: We are already under the umbrella of web content 15:26:10 https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gF4IfzgTL_ftz7i-07QYrZoR8MVOe8Mwo11Rv4uCVMI/edit?gid=0#gid=0 15:32:16 q+ 15:34:19 Jan: "Usable" is very important for people with cognitive disabilities 15:35:29 Lisa: I think John's point was very good - digital content is a scope statement and I agree that it might get us into trouble. I am concerned about "Cognitive Accessibility" because "Cognitive Disability" is narrowly defined in some places and people might feel left out 15:40:39 Jan: What about "Making Content Usable Through Digital Accessibility Practices" (+) subtitle 15:41:56 LenB has joined #coga 15:42:20 Cognitive Accessibility Protocols 15:43:13 put on your CAP 15:46:21 Jan: I am not a fan of the word "protocol" - I am not sure how that will translate and it seems too "clinical" 15:46:45 +1 to Jan.
