Update on Calls for Consensus and publication processes.

Update on Calls for Consensus and publication processes.

JW: We have 2 CFCs out at the moment

positive responses

JS: Due to recent outages, should we extend CFC deadline?

Would that have an impact?

Q to Josh

JS: Messaging is fine. If there was a need for more time, is a 24 hour delay bad.

<jasonjgw1> Josh notes the tight publication schedule and the recent discussion of adding a few references to WAI resources to Accessibility of Remote Meetings.

JW: I've an action and Josh will be busy *grin

JW: People are responding.

JS: <Discusses managing consensus>

JW: We may get more.

JW: I'll work on this today

TPAC 2021 - any updates.

JW: I've not heard much new, anything?

JS: We do need to discuss COGA request for meeting with RQTF - it was planned for the 20th. A little earlier.

Can we do on the 27th?

SH: Q, have the timezones changed by then?

JS: That happens in November.

SN: Thats fine.

JW: Do they have agenda?

JS: They are doing literature review of mental health issues as a disability

JW: That is not entirely clear.

JW: Don't know what disability scholars have to say about it, could be interesting.

Anything else?

JS: That is the one thing they have, they may have others. I'll communicate this to you and Scott.

SH: In Australia there are debates around the nature of disability.

<janina> https://www.w3.org/TR/coga-usable/

Interesting.

JS: <Discusses Content Usable work>

It has good work, personas, and graphics - tells a good story.

There is an editors draft to up version it.

I did encourage them to push this during breakouts.

SH: What do they want to discuss with RQTF?

Inclusion of mental health in general work?

They may have something more specific. Make sense?

JS: Yes, I'm not clear

They want to expand scope.

Mental health as a disability that may impact how people interact with and use technology.

JS: The work statement needs to updated - not mentioned.

There are suggestions.

JW: Looks like we need to clarify agenda, and schedule us for the 27th.

SH: What do they see as the end game of this meeting?

JS: May be to have a better understanding of how to review literature and the what and how of accomodating mental health issues and the nexus with technology

Mostly in the context of WCAG 3 - there may also be an update of content usable to encapsulate mental health

JS: I'm not well placed to make comments on these issues.

I don't think there are many, if any with this specific skillset to comment

I'm a little concerned - as I don't know who to ask.

JS: These are the issues that are of concern - we need to flag the methodology question.

SH: One of the challenges is diff between disability and health issue.

JW: Definitions would clarify

JW: Not sure how these things are characterised

JS: Another aspect is the FB kerfuffle..

<discussion of FB related issue de jour>

<Ongoing discussion on mental health, its place in the technical discussion>

SN: How will this inclusion affect disability guidelines?

JW: Lets do this on the 27th

JS: Ok, will let them know.

JS: We should get our schedule soon, after Oct 8th.

We wont meet during our usual time during TPAC right?

JW: So we have next week, as our last meeting pre TPAC.

We should have drafts on the way then.

Flash mitigation and other video/audio transformations enhancing accessibility.

https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/task-forces/research-questions/wiki/Media_Transformation_for_Accessibility
