It's not just about meetings we want to have. EO has requested meetings with us.

The FPWD was published in Oct 2022. WE had a lot of comments from COGA. 14:12:03 janina: The document is far better for the comments from CO@GA and the back-and-forth. 14:12:19 janina: The document has been strenghtened because of COGA issues and because everyone has a COGA issue in a collab environment. 14:12:26 q+ 14:12:49 janina: We haven't had enough review form the wider a11y community. 14:13:01 janina: We really want to ask again for a WR from the community before we lock this in as a WG note. 14:13:23 https://www.w3.org/2024/05/22-rqtf-minutes.html#r01 14:14:34 Certainly do recommend pushing it out a week due to the holidays. 14:17:21 janina: We're talking about complexity management and the a11y aspects of that. We're very comfortable with the scope. It doesn't include text editing, any kind of software code editing; it's just the collaborative aspects of a collaborative environment, wether a or synchronous. 14:18:15 janina: This is a new kind of document, a new kind of addressing. 14:19:48 q? 14:19:53 janinaWe've done the research but haven't got the bibliography in place. We have the questions, we have the new questions. There's been enough ddevelopment in this document and we didn't get enough screen reader, enough D/deaf, enough community comments. 14:19:53 ack jen 14:21:23 q? 14:21:35 Use this link to CFC for CTAUR -> https://raw.githack.com/w3c/ctaur/update-note-2024-06/index.html 14:22:07 zakim, next item 14:22:07 agendum 4 -- New Charters Review https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22Horizontal+review+requested%22 -- taken up [from janina] 14:22:27 subtopic: SVG Maintenance Working Group 14:22:28 - charter: https://w3c.github.io/charter-drafts/2024/svg-wg.html 14:22:28 - issue: https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/432#issuecomment-2124631450 14:22:35 Roy_: The re are some followups for a11y. 14:23:38 Roy_: We reviewed this charter ca 3 months ago, but now we got a message from Kevin who mentioned that htere is a desire from some of the members to see SVG a11y mapping things from this WG, too, so he wants to know if there is any possibility to move this work to an a11y workijgn group for that. 14:23:42 rrsagent, make minutes 14:23:43 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2024/05/22-apa-minutes.html matatk 14:23:51 janina: That's a request you should forward to ARIAWG. 14:24:28 q+ 14:24:43 q? 14:24:49 ack ma 14:25:45 matatk: As Roy mentioned, Kevin is asking that the a11y mappings get done. This is on the charter thread. Isn't Kevin the staff contact for ARIAWG? 14:25:48 Roy_: NO, Daniel is. 14:26:09 matatk: Should we do anything to see that this question goes to the right people? 14:27:01 Roy_: I'll do that. 14:27:12 Roy_: That''s all. 14:27:14 zakim, next item 14:27:14 agendum 5 -- HR A11y Review Comment Tracker https://w3c.github.io/horizontal-issue-tracker/?repo=w3c/a11y-review -- taken up [from janina] 14:27:35 matatk: This is specifically comment reviews. 14:27:40 subtopic: Mark features that might expose accessibility tools 14:27:40 - issue: https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/459 14:28:35 q+ 14:28:58 janina: I'm going to volunteer Lionel. He's not on the call, but he is interested in action items that are relevant to him and this is very relevant to him. 14:29:59 action Lionel: Review suggestion on accessibility-specific fingerprinting marking 14:30:33 ack me 14:30:33 gb, help 14:30:33 Roy_, I am a bot to look up and create GitHub issues and 14:30:33 ack ma 14:30:33 … action items. I am an instance of GHURLBot 0.5. 14:30:33 … Try gb, help commands or 14:30:33 … see https://w3c.github.io/GHURLBot/manual.html 14:31:19 matatk: Do I understand that in gneeral, we are concerned about fingerprinting for any reason, and it seems liek there is already some sort of marking proposed for fingerprinting in general, but what we are talking about here is the subset of fingerprinting instances that specifically highlight that the user is using an AT? 14:31:36 janina: That vector has been raised a a concern again and again from the community. 14:31:42 janina: We might want to work on a position paper on this. 14:32:07 janina: Anytime we talk about it: yes, we are qaware that the wider community is concerned about that vector. It alwasy lands here. 14:32:32 matatk: I think this is an important issue, but not necessarily more so than any other fingerprinting issue. 14:33:09 matatk: People in gneral outside a11y seem very well aware of the issue of AT fingerprinting. 14:33:59 q 14:34:08 janina: We tend to have a reputation for being noisier than most. Since it is a social issue in some respects, we get more attention than many others. That may not always be a good thing. 14:34:10 q+ 14:34:40 ack ma 14:34:46 q? 14:35:26 I do 14:35:34 matatk: I'd like to invite any differing opinions on that. Soemtimes, legally, there are terms like "vulnerable poeople" involved. There may be issues where you make people disporportionately vulnerable if you fingerprint in this way. If anyone feels that we should take a more risk-aeverse stance on this, please speak up. 14:35:53 q+ Fazio 14:36:07 janina: I want to poropose that we don't dispose of this today. If someone wants to take a formal action to be responsive on this, but let's not take the whole meeting wringing our hands abou thtis. 14:36:56 Fazio: I agree with everything said. Vulnerable populatiosn can be a lot more than PWDs or AT users. It may howerver apply in authoritarian regimes where it may be extremely bad. It will take a while. 14:37:01 q? 14:37:01 ack Fazio 14:37:02 janina: Do we still need to talk about this today? 14:37:10 ack df 14:37:32 Roy_: That's all for this block. 14:37:34 zakim, next item 14:37:34 agendum 6 -- Explicit Review Requests https://github.com/w3c/a11y-request/issues -- taken up [from janina] 14:37:47 janina: Let's get ethical! 14:38:44 subtopic: Ethical Web Principles 14:39:26 https://github.com/w3c/a11y-request/issues/75 14:39:48 matatk: See previous discussions last week. DR. Keith offered to have a look at it, which he had. 14:43:58 Dr_Keith: I think it could benefit from some stronger language if they wanted to say some things more strongly. But it goes through as is. The y mention a11y in two sections staying at high levels. It's all kind of wrapped together in teh Ethical Document. Those two statements are fine enough. I provided some recommendations in terms of making the 14:43:58 language stronger. I also believe that we can consider it editorial and that they can move on down the line. 14:44:01 q? 14:44:50 matatk: Next steps: We've set the tone for those suggestions you've made to come in. 14:45:07 matatk: You could post them as an issue with two suggestions yourself. 14:45:21 matatk: One point is that we don't want to slow this down with a CFC on something that is basically editorial. 14:46:03 how do I post to the list? 14:48:07 Dr_KeithThanks for all the comments. 14:48:25 q? 14:48:34 q 14:48:49 zakim, next item 14:48:49 agendum 7 -- new on TR http://www.w3.org/TR/tr-status-drafts.html -- taken up [from janina] 14:49:52 Roy_: Nothing new! 14:49:55 zakim, next item 14:49:55 agendum 8 -- CSS Update (Paul) https://github.com/w3c/css-a11y/issues -- taken up [from janina] 14:50:11 janina: Discussions of APIs are ongoing. 14:50:30 zakim , next item 14:50:45 zakim, next item 14:50:45 agendum 8 was just opened, Fredrik 14:51:05 zakim, next item 14:51:05 agendum 9 -- Actions Checkin (Specs) https://github.com/issues/assigned -- taken up [from janina] 14:51:16 just added the document to public-apa@w3.org 14:51:37 https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa/2024May/0028.html 14:52:07 janina: Thanks Dr. Keith for an excellent review! 14:53:06 janina: We assume W3C documents are published and live in the context of other W3C publications. For isntance, there was some suggestion about refereincing MM. Perfectly good point, but we can't do it, because it is not a thing yet. 14:54:06 zakim, next item 14:54:06 agendum 10 -- Other Business -- taken up [from janina] 14:54:33 matatk: We do need to sign off on the Ethical Web Principles from an APA perspective on account of it being nice and propoer. 14:54:45 matatk: This odesn't mean we can't comment on it and say what needs to be improvede. 14:54:58 matatk: TAG doesn't need HR to motivate them to improve documents. They are very keen for feedback. 14:55:37 janina: +1 on that. 14:55:45 q? 14:56:00 matatk: We got some feedback on something that Adapt is working on on the APA list.
