Reminder of process for public comments

<maryjom> https://github.com/w3c/wcag2ict/wiki/Process-for-addressing-public-comments

maryjom: A public comment process has been created. I triage issues and tag nature and make an initial response, then bring to task force for final answer.

<maryjom> https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o6ruxbOKxAU6aWWz9Ac7P8DMi7lrIwXCy5DgvRzQZA4/edit?usp=sharing

Public comments

maryjom: Steve saying "page title was unclear." Yesterday John engaged some reasons why not always a desired thing. Question whether we should be more clear or give information in a note.

<PhilDay> Content from current editor's draft:

<PhilDay> Applying SC 2.4.2 Page Titled to Non-Web Documents and Software

<PhilDay> This applies directly as written, and as described in Intent from Understanding Success Criterion 2.4.2 replacing “Web pages” with “non-web documents or software”.

<PhilDay> With this substitution, it would read:

<PhilDay> 2.4.2 Page Titled: [Non-web documents or software] have titles that describe topic or purpose.

<PhilDay> NOTE 1

<PhilDay> As described in the WCAG intent, the name of a non-web software application or non-web document (e.g. document, media file, etc.) is a sufficient title if it describes the topic or purpose.

<PhilDay> NOTE 2

<PhilDay> See also the Comments on Closed Functionality.

maryjom: Do we incorporate some of that into our document? John's note quotes the EN.

<PhilDay> +1 to using EN note

loicmn: Need to reexplain that page title refers to the whole software. Not sure if we need in WCAG2ICT. Have extra need to explain in better way.

maryjom: We have been pointing out where problematic, if we feel EN covers well enough...

bruce_bailey: I like the EN note, I prefer to copy/paste in. But maybe going too far.

maryjom: we need to assign someone to this issue and develop a draft answer in the doc

<PhilDay> I'm out for 2 weeks so don't want to be a road block on any issues

bruce_bailey: Happy to do it

Other open issues

maryjom: Start with quick decisions.

<maryjom> https://w3c.github.io/wcag2ict/#platform-software

maryjom: "Why aren't we using platform software EN definition?" question.

maryjom: ISO standard reference added

+1

<Sam> +1

philday: I agree with what you have done, but should we also reference EN and S508? Or is that too much?

PhilDay: that's sufficient
