Meeting minutes
<sheribyrne> for the research topic: https://
Introductions
<sheribyrne> the other one I was looking for, for the research topic: https://
How do we want to take minutes?
<Rain> Link for our scratchpad Google Doc: https://
<Rain> Sheri: google docs are messy, permissions can be challenging, and if people on this call mostly have experience with IRC gets the job done
<Rain> +1 to Sheri
<AndySomers> +present
<eric_hind> +1 to Sheri
<AndySomers> +1
<jedi> +1 to Sheri
<jeanne> +1
<Makoto> +1, but I won't be able to scribe due to my English. I'm really sorry about that...
<Rain> Decision: use IRC
Rain: I'll put together a scribe list on our wiki page
<Rain> Link to our wiki page in Github: https://
Rain: If you have a question, you type "q+" to get on the speaker queue
Review meeting time
Rain: A couple individuals learned of the group and wanted to participate. The meeting time may not be as good for everyone in the group now.
… We could talk through some options. If we go an hour later I imagine it'll get pretty late for Jedi and Makoto, but it might be better for people in pacific time.
… Alternatively I could do a poll in a spreadsheet that I can send out after the meeting.
<AndySomers> I'm west coast
<AndySomers> Hollywood
Sheri: I can do meetings at 6am for a short period if that works for everyone else
<alastairc> With a survivor bias, presumably everyone here now is ok with the time? Do we know if there are people who couldn't attand today?
Andy: I've been moving my schedule around to be awake at 4am
<sheribyrne> I'm away from my normal home base on the east coast, but I'm only here for this week and next
Wilco: I've received no regrets. I think we can assume this is the group.
Makoto: I could do an hour later. If it could be Tuesday that would be better.
Jedi: An hour later works, Monday or Tuesday are both fine
<sheribyrne> Tuesday is better for me
Rain: In IRC, lets do a poll, put +1 for Monday, +2 for Tuesday +3 for either
<Rain> Please put +1 for Monday, +2 for Tuesday, +3 for either
<jeanne> +1 for Monday only
<AndySomers> +3
<eric_hind> +3
<murray_moss> +3
<jedi> +3
<sheribyrne> +3 with a preference for Tuesday
<alastairc> +3, Prefer monday, but Tuesday is possible.
<Makoto> +3
Rain: Looks like Monday is best
Jeanne: I could see if I can switch with Shawn? If Tuesday works better for everyone else maybe Tuesday can work
<Rain> Keep Monday, 1 hour later
<sheribyrne> +1
<Rain> +1
<eric_hind> +1
<jedi> +1
<Makoto> +1
<alastairc> +1 (don't mind now or hour later)
<jeanne> +1
<murray_moss> +1
Rain: So we're keeping the meeting day, but meeting an hour later: 9am Eastern
Existing materials?
<Rain> From Sheri: https://
<alastairc> Understanding doc: https://
<alastairc> WIki page of previous notes: https://
<Rain> Folder of documents from a categorization: https://
<Rain> Mapping document: https://
Jeanne: This is work from last year. Silver TF completed that process. As that exercise went on it got more sophisticated.
… We looked at WCAG 2.1 criteria, and had a database of different information to categorise. The later ones all have an individual document backing them up
<alastairc> Presumably the Pause/stop/hide info would also help? This is the categorisation exercise doc: https://
Jeanne: This was a start to the subgroup work. I didn't want that effort to be lost
Rain: This is a great set to work through. For next week lets make sure we've read all these materials
<Zakim> jeanne, you wanted to say that I put it in Resources
<alastairc> The wiki page above has links to other docs as well.
Finalize goals
Rain: We have 8 weeks, so we have to keep the goal well scoped.
<Rain> Current goal as written: Write an exploratory version of the guideline and outcomes for Harm from motion guideline. This work does not include writing How-to pages or methods.
Rain: Some example goals we could also consider:
<Rain> Example goals: Creating user stories Documenting options as exploratory Identifying and documenting additional challenges Answering related issues Writing text for the draft
Rain: I'm curious, do we have in those resources any user stories?
<Zakim> jeanne, you wanted to list the goals recommennded by the Guideline Writing Process
<jeanne> Preserve the knowledge and experience of WCAG guidance
<jeanne> Focus on the user
<jeanne> Use as much plain language or clear language as possible
Jeanne: The team that wrote the writing process recommended three goals.
… Preserve knowledge of WCAG guidance, use plain language, focus on the user
… We did not do user stories, what we did is identify functional needs
Alastair: It would be good to know if there are other use cases that should be covered, that people are aware of that aren't covered so far.
… It would also be helpful if in scope we consider when the guidance should apply or not.
… We ran into problem with scoping, because it's really hard to determine how big something will be on the web.
<alastairc> Hmm, is 'flashing' motion?
Andy: I believe there's a placeholder for three flashes. There is a lot of crossover between photic seizures.
… This is a place where there might be something to combine or a sub category.
… There are some aural things too that can cause harm in some cases.
… There might be some hierarchical organisation to these guidelines.
Rain: We probably need to define motion. There are probably some definitions we can pull from, but we may need to extend or further scope it.
<AndySomers> visual ftigue
Rain: This got me also thinking about how we define harm, and what falls into that scope. There's the extreme of potential death, but then there's also something as simple as I can't finish my assignment because my focus potential gets redirected because of the motion.
<AndySomers> fatigue
Rain: There are all kinds of levels of harm. I think part of the work is to define harm.
Sheri: There is a scientific phrase, pseudo-motion. I wonder if it's worth considering broadening the title of this group to harm from motion and pseudo-motion.
Rain: I saw this on a gradient, which gave the perception of something moving
Andy: On the question if flashing is motion. If you have motion video, going in and out of shadows while driving. That's the kind of flashing that's considered a risk. That would be considered motion, but it's also flashing.
… Another one is having an animation where light elements go over dark elements.
… Rapid state changes from light to dark, we're generally concerned about 3 flashes per second.
Rain: This is something we want to capture in the document.
<Rain> Drafting area in our google doc: https://
Wilco: I would suggest not renaming the group, but if pseudo-motion should be included start using it in the guideline you're proposing
Rain: We have 4 things we've identified we want to cover.
… Defining motion, defining harm, use cases to cover, and scope of when this applies and when it doesn't.
… Is defining these a good goal for our subgroup?
Jeanne: In some ways its a little too detailed, and not covering the things we'd like you to. But we are still developing the process, we can refine things if we need to.
… What ideally we'd want to do is identify use cases/functional needs, then what are the outcomes of any guidance we're going to write that we want to say.
<AndySomers> Harm: triggering an unexpected event with negative physiological consequences
<alastairc> +1, we need to translate the use-cases into outcomes
Jeanne: we can then note we need to define harm, and define motion.
… That was our intention. More a push towards outcome, and note what still needs to be worked on.
Rain: So then the first one is use cases, second is define the outcome, and stretch goals on defining scope, motion and harm.
… My guess is defining motion / harm will evolve organically. They'll expand as we go.
Jeanne: Sounds great. And as we discuss things capture them for the future.
<alastairc> +1Also, capture negative decisions, e.g. "we didn't do that because of X".

<Rain> Are we happy with these goals?
<jedi> +1
Rain: I can draft us a plan of action for next week.
… I would like to ask everyone if between now and our next meeting, familiarise yourselves with documents we already have.
… In the drafting area, start putting in user stories so we can get into that next week.
<sheribyrne> Rain, I need access to the google doc
<alastairc> jeanne - did we do the WCAG 2.x AAA crieria in the categorisation exercise? I don't think animation from interactions is there...
<AndySomers> I need access too
