18:11:47 <Zakim> agendum 2. "Select migrated SC and new SC for Silver FPWD" taken up [from jeanne]
18:12:07 <janina_> js: Picking up from Tuesday's conversation ...
18:12:15 <janina_> js: FPWD of Silver expected late November
18:12:33 <janina_> js: We need to decide what we can put in by then
18:12:56 <janina_> js: Suggestion was one SC, Color Contrast
18:13:09 <janina_> js: Plus one of the new proposals from COGA or LV
18:13:18 <pkorn> queue+
18:13:43 <janina_> js: Have action to find the proposals--now sent and on Wiki
18:13:45 <jeanne> https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/task-forces/silver/wiki/Main_Page#New_Content_Proposals_from_Task_Forces_and_Prototypes
18:14:41 <janina_> pk: Offering to work on challenges language to get it includable
18:15:47 <janina_> js: Hope to have some proposed lang by next Tuesday's call
18:16:13 <janina_> js: Have gui9deline, description, methods, test ... Presented to aGWG and other TFs for feedback
18:16:21 <janina_> js: to give us new content to see how it might fit
18:16:32 <janina_> js: Clear wording from COGA
18:16:36 <janina_> js: Enable api
18:16:48 <janina_> js: Point of regard and text spacing from LV
18:17:13 <janina_> q+ to discuss spacing possibility for tech solution
18:18:16 <janina_> js: Let people where they are in a multi screen task re one of the CoGA pieces
18:18:26 <janina_> js: e.g. step 3 of 7
18:18:48 <janina_> js: Started draft on "clear words"
18:19:11 <janina_> js: Becky Gibson had begun work on enabling APIs
18:19:44 <CharlesHall> q+ to confirm if these are indeed active as none of the 5 appear in the 2.2 spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11IKqjRFvkRd2dAfUiyc5whhB3yIYXvSiirWct7KQIB0/edit?usp=sharing
18:20:23 <pkorn> queue-
18:20:37 <jeanne> ack jan
18:20:37 <Zakim> janina_, you wanted to discuss spacing possibility for tech solution
18:21:16 <LuisG> janina: some of what we're writing guidance for...we're trying to push some of that forward
18:21:55 <LuisG> .. there is a CSS taskforce and we're discussing whether we have what we need for a user to define what would work for them
18:22:33 <LuisG> .. the new one is whether we can manage a different spacing after punctuation; defining what you want after that could be problematic because of things like "i.e."
18:23:01 <LuisG> .. it seems it should be possible to make it easier to create a configuration that would control that. might not be necessary for Silver to do it if the uses can manage it themselves
18:23:38 <LuisG> .. some of what we're working on, might want to come up with technical solutions rather than best practices guidance
18:24:03 <LuisG> js: that's exciting news; but I think this is still important because we're not just talking about web/html technology.
18:24:08 <Chuck> q+
18:24:17 <LuisG> .. in VR, people would want to be able to control spacing, etc.
18:24:36 <LuisG> .. we would still want to include it, but not make it something the author would have to do; maybe something a user agent could do
18:24:50 <CharlesHall> +1 to Jeanne – still have guidance regardless of the ease of availability of technology solutions
18:25:10 <LuisG> janina: and using stylesheets never really ended up being something successful for users; the thinking is maybe we can do better at that
18:25:19 <LuisG> .. the VR and emerging tech is a whole other issue
18:25:39 <LuisG> js: I've always been a believer in it being a user agent rather than authoring function
18:25:58 <LuisG> .. it's a good point to maybe not have it as an early success criterion and instead wait
18:26:23 <LuisG> janina: it brings up questions about what kind of guidance this is? authoring, user agent, or can we create some kind of technological solution; a kind of AT
18:26:35 <jeanne> q?
18:27:32 <LuisG> .. since we brought up VR...we had some discussions and got walkthroughs on how some of that stuff is working; we got an understanding of what part of the stack stuff happens on...
18:27:48 <LuisG> .. I'm wondering how we write guidance for that sort of work; and that's ongoing right now
18:28:13 <LuisG> js: I didn't find all of that in the minutes
18:28:22 <LuisG> janina: it's from Friday morning; I'll send them out
18:28:33 <jeanne> q+ Jennison

18:28:40 <Zakim> CharlesHall, you wanted to confirm if these are indeed active as none of the 5 appear in the 2.2 spreadsheet:
18:28:42 <Zakim> ... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11IKqjRFvkRd2dAfUiyc5whhB3yIYXvSiirWct7KQIB0/edit?usp=sharing
18:29:16 <janina_> charles: Wants to point out we may still need guidance for a particular concern even if we have an emerging tech solution
18:30:02 <janina_> charles: notes none of the lv in current 2.2 sc? Should we look at these? Or others?
18:30:16 <janina_> js: We specifically asked for examples that couldn't go into 2.2
18:30:31 <janina_> charles: Understood
18:30:40 <jeanne> ack Chuck
18:31:07 <janina_> chuck: Like janina's suggestions, but all of those might be too much for our fpwd
18:31:24 <janina_> janina: agree
18:31:30 <jeanne> ack Jenni
18:32:47 <janina_> jenison: asks whether janina proposes beyond current SC?
18:32:55 <janina_> js: Yes, beyond
18:33:15 <janina_> cheuck: expansion on 2.1?
18:33:17 <janina_> js: yes
18:33:33 <CharlesHall> q+
18:33:42 <jeanne> ack charl
18:34:16 <janina_> charles: Is the suggestion for all 5 to be covered in the FPWD?
18:34:27 <janina_> js: No, likely too many to do well enough for FPWD
18:34:43 <janina_> js: We are open to volunteers to work on these, though
18:35:04 <janina_> js: Jan is eager to get COGA related SC wording suitable
18:35:17 <janina_> js: Anyone from LV willing to help with one of those?

18:36:27 <jeanne> zakim, take up next
18:36:27 <Zakim> agendum 3. "Issues and Exceptions - continue discussion of minimum or required guidance" taken up [from jeanne]
18:36:38 <CharlesHall> Charles will start working on Point of Regard
18:37:50 <janina_> js: Looking at incorporating challenges concepts for FPWD conformance section
18:38:03 <janina_> pk: Think it would be great either in, or longside
18:38:14 <janina_> q+ to remind of Explainer
18:38:40 <janina_> pk: Amazon will work with whoever is interested to make draft suitable
18:39:04 <jeanne> Prototype of ED -> https://w3c.github.io/silver/prototypes/EdDraftPrototype/
18:39:25 <janina_> pk: Were it should go should be decided by folks more experienced in AGWG processes
18:40:00 <janina_> jeanne: Noting a pretty detailed conformance section where these may fit
18:40:43 <janina_> js; Notes items raised that should be in the issues doc
18:41:02 <Chuck> q+
18:41:37 <janina_> pk: Biggest mismatch I see is notion that bronze equates to WCAG 2.1
18:42:16 <janina_> pk: There being non automatable parts of WCAG 2.x we need to bridge that to the ag model
18:45:06 <janina_> janina: Expresses concern that defining an equivalence creates more problems than it solves
18:45:24 <janina_> jeanne: Much discussion on this, but never thought of it as one to one mapping
18:45:51 <janina_> jeanne: Rather as a way to help people who have made investments into meeting existence guidance some notion of where they stand in the new model
18:46:46 <janina_> pk: Suggests lang that any site meeting 2.2 is still valid, without actually tieing to a new level
18:46:56 <KimD> +1 Bronze should not equal 2.x (AA)
18:47:17 <janina_> pk: Maybe also need to more qualitatively define what we mean by bronze, silver, gold. What's the user experience diff/
18:47:27 <janina_> s/\/?/
18:47:54 <Chuck> 8th level wizards casts spell of agreement with Peter.
18:48:00 <janina_> pk: We want to convey the opportunity to keep getting better and better
18:48:03 <CharlesHall> so do Marvel comics
18:49:11 <jeanne> +1 to Peter - have a qualitative analysis discussion of what makes bronze, silver and gold levels and beyond.
18:49:22 <janina_> Luis: There will need to be numbering for correspondance to give people continuity
18:50:04 <janina_> pk: Think it's more of the user experience than simply not pass/fail test
18:50:24 <janina_> js: It's time we revisit this conversation. We had it long ago, but not recently
18:52:05 <janina_> pk: Clearly we need to avoid invalidating 2.x for all who invested in meeting that; but how many actually meet 2.x AA? Beyond the home page? Average was around 47%
18:52:39 <janina_> pk: Training, tooling and knowledge is what we must not invalidate; more than specific equivalence statements
18:54:23 <janina_> pk: 4th would be processes -- if an org has a working process around AA, we don't want to invalidate that
18:54:48 <CharlesHall> process or tools may also include the ACT rules work
18:54:54 <janina_> js: Asks for examples
18:55:04 <bruce_bailey> it may be the case that awards less than bronze may be worth including
18:55:24 <janina_> pk: Thinking of what we do at Amazon, what we did at Oracle, at Sun, they're all based around meeting current WCAG
18:55:37 <MichaelC> q+
18:55:44 <janina_> pk: These become internal processes with defined steps
18:56:08 <janina_> pk: We don't want to tell people you need to change all your ways of working
18:56:09 <bruce_bailey> at AccessU, Eric mentioned that quote wood metals unquote are actual prizes
18:56:23 <janina_> pk: Silver should preserve institutional knowledge and tooling

19:01:31 <janina_> mc: Supports not invalidating
19:01:44 <janina_> mc: But needs to make Silver different from WCAG 2
19:01:58 <janina_> mc: Meanwhile, WCAG 2.x should remain valid for some extended period of time
19:02:23 <janina_> mc: Don't want to force change; we need a balance
