| Gregg Vanderheiden | no | I don't think we WANT to but I think we HAVE to unless we can figure out how to actually do it. Otherwise it is a great thought but a bad requirement. 1) This should say that it should be programmatically determinable which category it goes in -- so that AT or browsers could present different levels of information to the user - not just have them all there with markings next to them making it more complicated to view/read. 2) the definition of the levels is problemmatic. We need to figure out how to do these better. My experience is that it is so easy to mess with these types of definitions. For example -- I have a shopping site. only 18-20 % of the people who come to the site actually buy something. So all of the checkout parts are only medium to low priority -- and would disappear if people asked to show only the important things. Also - I did research and my ads are intrusive enough that my data show that 70% of the people see/read them. So they are most important. and for my site to stay up - I certainly think they are important. so now we have a shopping site with the add shown but not the checkout parts? or rather - whatever I want to show showing as important. PERHAPS - we can look to definitions that look like "all the parts absolutely required for use of the site -- but when we looked at this in WCAG 2.0 -- we found that not showing people discounts and sales was discriminatory -- they needed to see the sales as well. And most of the features - someone thought were really important for some users with disabilities. We ended up not being able to define "what was important" in a way that someone else on the team could not poke a hole in. Maybe if we can think of categories of information instead of saying importance. Body Navigation Checkout Advertising etc -- thought people HATE to tag their advertisements because that is how they make the money to keep their sites up. so LOVE the idea but don't see how to do it |

| Gregg Vanderheiden | yes | The best I have seen is where there is a simple version at top or bottom. Acts as kind of an abstract. |

| Lisa Seeman-Horwitz | no | |
| Gregg Vanderheiden | no | I think this one is a winner -- But I think we should change any requirement to say that the requirement can be met if you EITHER use the "name-from-list-of-coga-names" as the name on the item itself OR you add the coga-xxxx=coganame attribute to the item. EITHER one can be used. That way we don't create a lot of extra work for people useing standard names. the only problem with this is that you need to define your list of common names in all the different languages of the world. But you need to do that anyway. And you can't use translators. For example HOME button is a translation of START in some languages -- not a translation of the word HOME. and SUBMIT might translate into "surrender" or "capitulate" which is a pretty strange button on a form. by the way -- who is working on all of the translations of all of the words on all of our lists into all of the different languages of the Web? |
| Charles LaPierre | no |

| Gregg Vanderheiden | no | if this is going to be required at any time (e.g. Level a or level aa) then I would deprioritize I think it is a great idea where it can work but I see absolutely no way to apply this in most cases. My bank account a budget any spreadsheet any shopping site (expensive is very relative) any comparison site (what does 8 watts convert into?) etc. |

| Gregg Vanderheiden | no | This is a pretty clear one. I think it has some trouble with determining edge cases but if we use "commonly recognized" There is a form of it in WCAG 2 3.1.3 Unusual Words: A mechanism is available for identifying specific definitions of words or phrases used in an unusual or restricted way, including idioms and jargon. (Level AAA) this could be a mechanism for doing this. |

| Gregg Vanderheiden | no | Not sure I understand this one. I thought it was straightforward -but there is not text in the documents so that makes me wonder but i think that it could be doable SIDE COMMENT - I notice that we start each one of these with REQUIREMENT but what follows isnt a requirement but a NEED. Should we change 'requirement' to 'need' on the front of each one. (excuse CAPS but there is no bold formatting allowed in this field to add emphasis .) |

| Gregg Vanderheiden | no | This is a good one. but I would drop the use of legal documents as an example. It may be (and probably is) illegal to have someone rely on a summary and then sign a document where that language is not the language that the user is held to. so great idea - but not for legal documents (which have to be written to be more understandable in the first place since they are binding as they are written - not in simpler language). Or at least we don't want to have that debate on this item which is a good item. |

| Responder | Logs: Prioritization | Comments |

| Lisa Seeman-Horwitz | no | |
| Gregg Vanderheiden | no | interesting idea but needs better name than LOGS. Keeping logs has all sorts of privacy and tracking implications. Also we need to cover all of those before this is ready to view Some of this looks like progress tracking rather than logs (here are the steps in the process and here is where you are) which is great but I think of logs as things that are kept. Maybe "Progress and Place markers" |
| Charles LaPierre | yes | I think this may be in jeopardy of being more complicated and could take extra time to get right if we need to have any type of validation of parts needed to be correct. |

Rather than an attraction? this is important but not sure about name and how we would do this. WCAG already talks about animations. Are you talking about anything other than animations? if not -- why not call them that? "Animated content" or "animated content that is not the primary purpose of the page? ?? |
