15:22:10 [Kathy]
Josh - been through a lot and wanted to talk through peoples concerns

wanted to talk about managing expectations

15:24:07 [Joshue108]
q+
15:25:05 [Kathy]
Andrew - know there are concerns about the pace and how we are going to get through all 55 SC. The work we are doing is ongoing. It is challenging to find solutions for all good ideas. We need to be practical and identify the failings in the language. If we put it out without the appropriate language it will get a lot of comments and potential of being rejected. This is hard
15:25:19 [JF]
Q+
15:25:47 [Kathy]
we don't know how many we will get completed. Good to have a few that are implementable and testable

15:27:31 [bruce_bailey]
q+ to ask where outsider comments are posted
15:27:44 [jamesn]
big +1 to Katie
15:28:07 [Kathy]
Josh - want us to all manage the work at a good sustainable pace. People are feeling pressure and we need to work at what we can do

this is a .1 release and there may be another version

+1 to watching our own nervous systems and mental health
15:29:01 [KimD]
+1 to taking a reasonable pace and quality being "job 1"
15:29:01 [Kathy]
John - earlier this year at CSUN there were conversations that we may want to publish what we have at the readiness of where we are at
15:29:28 [Kathy]
we have a lot of good proposals and research. There is alot of documentation that is scattered about
15:29:45 [Kathy]
we may want to publish it but state where it is at
15:29:57 [kirkwood]
+1 to John on publishing as is
15:30:20 [Kathy]
Josh - there was a thread about this. W3C looks for cutting edge. We could publish as non-normative
15:30:22 [Joshue108]
ack wayne
15:31:10 [AWK]
q+ to say that WCAG is not setting national law
15:31:10 [Kathy]
Wayne - I am worried about legal responsibility. We become national law. The impression we give is that we meet the needs of people with disabilities. People do not have any legal recourse
15:31:50 [Kathy]
... barriers for a user with low vision to be a programmer
15:32:05 [Kathy]
... we are putting people at risk - we should be doing no harm
15:32:52 [Kathy]
Josh - github is the platform that was chosen and we could use other tools but that will take research
15:33:03 [Ryladog]
Clarifying that my comment was also mostly about getting other to take commenting on our work seriously - like it has to this point. We need to make it do-able for the important orgnizations and individuals who commented on the FPWD, to be able to assign experinced staff to provide the thoughtful comments that they have. We cannot expect them to do that every month.
15:33:22 [Kathy]
Wayne - in the research we found that this was not sustainable. This is a barrier for users with low vision but meets wcag 2.0
15:33:43 [Kathy]
Josh- we need to bridge the gaps and looking for guideance in the low vision

15:34:55 [Kathy]
Bruce - there were comments that we are not responding to yet
15:34:56 [AWK]
My only point is that we need to be clear that WCAG 2.x doesn't result in full accessibility and ideally we will signal rolling updates to continually bridge the gap.

Jason: you can limit the number of controls by having control at a deeper level; that may not make it easier for the user. Now harder to find controls. Understand the rational but having a number is not the right way to achieve it
15:58:33 [Wayne]

15:59:17 [JF]
Question: would a five-button "fly-out" menu, with each of those five top-level buttons containing 5 more navigation choices... would that meet the "Maximum of 5" criteria?
15:59:27 [Joshue108]
I also dont think we can restrict authors in that way as they design content for users in a way that they hope supports their needs in the first place.
15:59:34 [Joshue108]
q-
15:59:39 [Glenda]
If we could have an ability to semantically identify what is absolutely essential for the “chunk” you are focused on now. Rather than setting a number of only 5 controls, an ability to only see the absolute essential controls. Could even later add the semantic ability to prioritize controls (just like heading levels). So…future semantic thinking here…but it could lead to overlays that let you filter out anything extra.

... we don't know what is required to satisfy the proposal and it is not testable. We need to develop the AT before we start putting SC in place
16:00:28 [Kathy]
... it is too early to determine what is required
16:01:21 [Kathy]
David: Jason covered my comments. I can see require authors do something to help users for cognitive impariments
16:01:56 [Kathy]
Josh: is there any comments that have not been addressed?
16:02:09 [Kathy]
... needs a lot of work right now
16:02:36 [gowerm]

16:03:03 [Kathy]
Greg: what is comes down is that there is comments but needs to be address by the COGA TF
16:03:22 [Joshue108]
ack gower
16:03:24 [Kathy]
... should take in account all of the comments raised
16:03:53 [Kathy]
Mike: my comments from January, there is lot of potential and we need to implement techniques
16:04:09 [Kathy]
... as it matures we can bring it back as SC
16:04:56 [Kathy]
RESOLUTION: go back to COGA for reviewing comments and further work
16:05:07 [Zakim]

do we need to have a definition of minimum - the term at least
16:09:46 [david-macdonald]
q+
16:10:06 [Joshue108]
zakim, ping me in 10 minutes
16:10:06 [Zakim]
ok, Joshue108
16:10:41 [Kathy]
Greg: the problem is where you are allowing support overwriting the minimum. it needs to compatible for all fonts. If there is a function on the page then you can set a minimum number of fonts
16:10:42 [Wayne]
q?
16:11:16 [david-macdonald]
-1 on that.
16:11:51 [Wayne]
scribe, wayne

scribe: wayne
16:12:54 [Wayne]
There was no specification on splitting: Level A formatting overide, Level AA, AAA page doesn't supply it.
16:13:08 [steverep]
q+ to suggest we stick to the AA proposal as the AAA is not necessarilty suported by the LVTF
16:13:09 [Joshue108]
ack ryla
16:13:34 [Wayne]
Katie: Ok with splitting in two.
16:13:44 [Joshue108]
ack davi
16:15:04 [Wayne]
David: When the user agent gets overridden. Only need to test for one override. Can you need to override. Responsible for all then you can go wrong. That creates non testability.
16:15:22 [Glenda]
+1 to David (and use a sufficient technique with that one font that is best for testing)
16:15:26 [Joshue108]
ack waye
16:16:08 [Joshue108]
q?
16:16:13 [Joshue108]
ack way
16:16:16 [Kathy]
Wayne: I think we can compromise on the fonts. There are rules for typography for legibility. We need to think about other languages. Then we can specifically test for these
16:16:31 [Kathy]
... have a list of accessible fonts
16:16:34 [Joshue108]
ack steve
16:16:34 [Zakim]
steverep, you wanted to suggest we stick to the AA proposal as the AAA is not necessarilty suported by the LVTF
16:16:36 [Ryladog]
What about the most common legible font in each language?
16:16:53 [Kathy]
Steve: can we just talk about AA proposal
16:16:54 [Joshue108]
+1 to that.
16:17:13 [Kathy]
are all of these proposals are trying to do the same thing
16:17:36 [Wayne]
+1
16:17:45 [Ryladog]
What about using the wording the say "2 (or 3) most common legible fonts" in each language?
16:17:56 [Kathy]
Against the AAA requirement, better to let the user do this and doesn't gain anything. What is needed is AA
16:18:00 [Joshue108]
+1
16:18:07 [jamesn]
q+
16:18:10 [Greg]
Steve, that would be for closed systems.
16:18:18 [Kathy]
Josh: comes down to scoping the change
16:18:36 [Kathy]
Can we say that this is going in the right direction
16:19:09 [Joshue108]
ack james
16:19:10 [Kathy]
David: can we ask if people can get consensus
16:19:33 [Kathy]
James: when we talk about overriding something.. is it anything or a specific method
16:19:53 [Kathy]
Laura: talking about a number of different options
16:20:04 [Kathy]
David: it is just one
16:20:06 [Zakim]
Joshue108, you asked to be pinged at this time
16:20:11 [Ryladog]
+1 to just one
16:20:27 [Kathy]
James: if I tell you this is how you can change it, does this meet the SC
16:20:33 [Kathy]
Answer is yes
16:20:35 [AWK]
q+
16:20:50 [Kathy]
should be "a mechanism"
16:21:10 [steverep]
+1 to David's comments
16:21:11 [Glenda]
I like Proposal E
16:21:27 [steverep]
q+
16:21:28 [Kathy]
James: it needs to be up to the author to decide what method is used
16:21:33 [Ryladog]
I also like proposal E...:-)
16:21:35 [Kathy]
not the user
16:21:41 [Wayne]
q+
16:21:59 [Greg]
I agree that the conformance claim has to specify at least one mechanism that allows overriding author formatting while keeping the page completely functional.
16:22:03 [Joshue108]
ack awk
16:22:05 [Kathy]
Josh: mechanism implies a thing
16:22:16 [jasonjgw]
q+
16:22:50 [Kathy]
Andrew: it is one thing for a user to create a stylesheet and a different thing for user to change about this list of things
16:23:01 [Ryladog]
I am not a fan of mechanism
16:23:24 [Kathy]
Laura: mechanism language is the problem
16:24:34 [Kathy]
Andrew: if an author says that we meet the SC since told the user that they can change this by setting a list of things. On a small website this may be a short list but could be more on a larger site. This would not be acceptable
16:24:57 [Kathy]
James: we would want to exclude somethings such as icon fonts
16:25:09 [Joshue108]
ack wayne
16:25:16 [Kathy]
Wayne: i have thought about this for a long time
16:25:39 [Kathy]
you have tokens that are user defined
16:25:59 [Kathy]
we need to identify the things that the user can change it
16:26:29 [Kathy]
want the author to verify that the content can be changed
16:27:07 [Kathy]
Josh: isn't this just talking about passing if using CSS
16:27:11 [Kathy]
Wayne: no sometimes blocks
16:27:41 [Joshue108]
ack steve
16:27:49 [Joshue108]
zakim, close queue
16:27:49 [Zakim]
ok, Joshue108, the speaker queue is closed
16:28:18 [Ryladog]
This SC is inherently about a premier a11y tenet - the separating the content from its presentation .....
16:28:47 [Kathy]
Steve: the main comment from the user perspective the mechanism to do this is a few and when it breaks it really breaks. If there were a finite list of things that the author was doing to prevent this then it could be scoped that way
16:28:49 [Glenda]
+1 ryladog
16:29:01 [Kathy]
... have given up trying to figure out the list of things
16:29:10 [david-macdonald]
q+
16:29:16 [Kathy]
Josh: may be approaching this the wrong way
16:29:32 [Kathy]
it is a handshake between the the developer and the user
16:30:17 [Kathy]
Laura: we should leave out mechanism to narrow it some
16:30:27 [Kathy]
E may be better
16:31:22 [gowerm]
q+
16:31:34 [Kathy]
Josh: basically saying don't get in the way of user stylesheets

ack jason
16:33:36 [Joshue108]
JW: The assumption around this language is that the mechanism succeeds.
16:34:20 [Joshue108]
JW: James question is interesting, and raises the issue that no mechanism is required but is assuming there is one that works and is limiting the consequese.
16:34:40 [Joshue108]
JW: This does raise the question - that when this falls down to AT in the end.
16:34:56 [Joshue108]
JW: Do we assume they can make the changes - it is all about consquence.
16:35:04 [Joshue108]
JW: and what the author can do etc.
16:35:06 [Wayne]
Jason: There is not a lot of functionality is the assumtion succeeds and when it suceeds then we want to limit the consequences. If I understand the language correctly. It assums that one exists and it limits the consequences. The issue goes away but it assums that assistive technology exists. It succeeds on making the canges. What the author could or could not do.
