14:16:04 <chiace> janina Is it organised well enough that you could use it as a document? The help documentation you need when you are at some point in the process, what am I supposed to do now?

14:21:31 <Zakim> agendum 5 -- [Issue tracking](https://github.com/w3c/a11y-tracking/issues) -- taken up [from janina]
14:23:09 <matatk> subtopic: Requirement to conform to WCAG Level A?
14:23:09 <matatk> source: w3c/epub-specs#2963
14:23:09 <matatk> tracking: https://github.com/w3c/a11y-tracking/issues/313
14:25:29 <chiace> matatk this is an issues originated in the epub repository and they are talking about conforance with wiki. There is a section in epub accessibility 1.2 documents.   There is a requirement to workout 2.0 but recommanded that it meets the latest WCAG 2.
14:25:57 <Roy_Ruoxi> q+
14:26:44 <janina> q+
14:27:04 <matatk> ack Roy_Ruoxi
14:27:24 <chiace> matatk the person who filed the issue says that requiring conformance to WCAG level A may create difficulties for adoption: like countries that use a11y standards that are similar to WCAG but not identical, like S Korea, Japan, China
14:28:10 <Fazio> important legal distinction by roy
14:28:47 <matatk> ack janina
14:29:30 <chiace> Roy_Ruoxi I noticed this issue, but non clear, because "Should" and "Must" usually translate in same word in Chinese. He guess that it is not a problem for China standard at the moment
14:29:50 <matatk> q?
14:31:07 <chiace> janinathis is an authorative issue like we should.  we are not going to be changing laws.  we can change our specs. so maybe we need to adjust either both WCAG or EPUB?
14:31:12 <matatk> q?
14:31:16 <chiace> janina this is an authorative issue like we should.  we are not going to be changing laws.  we can change our specs. so maybe we need to adjust either both WCAG or EPUB?
14:32:43 <chiace> janina  and I think needs a use case that started the emerge out of our QTF in our conversations about AI where we say context really matter and sometimes it can be stricter
14:34:41 <chiace> matatkthe law is not gonna change, he suspect the first thing to do is to figure out whether there is actually a problem, bacause if we find out that the laws that diverge are stricter than WCAG
14:34:57 <chiace> matatk the law is not gonna change, he suspect the first thing to do is to figure out whether there is actually a problem, bacause if we find out that the laws that diverge are stricter than WCAG
14:35:17 <chiace> janina very intresting situation
14:36:49 <chiace> matatk the risk is though that if we loosent the requirement. we can take this and try to understand what the divergent is and then consider the impact
14:38:01 <JonCohn> I'd be willing to read it.
14:38:19 <chiace> Fazio I remember that Makoto is always saying that Japan does not require standards because they've got their own standard
14:38:46 <chiace> matatk we will look at the chinese one

14:43:30 <chiace> Roy_Ruoxi an issue raised by chinese local member because they tried to explore to use AI agent to generate the UI: discussion + meetup that created the community group

14:44:44 <chiace> Roy_Ruoxi gen ai community group and there are 2 that want to work on A11y things about gen UI , maybe invite to APA
14:45:55 <matatk> https://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~kgajos/research/supple/
