Paul: looking for feedback by January 3rd
... any questions for Kris?
... next up is Accessibility TF
... I hope you can cover the ISSUE-122 status

Janina: that and a couple of related issues, namely 80 and 31, we did indeed talk about
... we worked on resolving why we are stuck
... we thought we had agreement at TPAC
... but we had another proposal forwarded by someone very involved in the TF but not at TPAC or on the telecons
... we didn't think it was a good use of the WG's time to ask the WG to resolve between competing proposals
... trying to arrange identified small group to get together over the holidays
... a key person has a conflict with the usual telecon time
... hoping to resolve by end of the year, but there may just be two proposals

Paul: previously promised a proposal in 48 hours
... can we record a date for when we can expect a proposal?

Janina: January 7th

Paul: that covers the status of ISSUE-122
... any other task force related items?

Janina: promising summary overview of comparison between TTML and WebSRT
... thought we had it a week ago
... we thought we were ready, but there is some dispute over neutrality

<janina> http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/TextFormat_Comparison_Overview

<pimpbot> Title: TextFormat Comparison Overview - HTML accessibility task force Wiki (at www.w3.org)

Janina: 36-hour consensus call; Friday afternoon we can forward it

Paul: (recaps category breakdown)
... you are presenting an analysis of the captioning format requirements

Janina: yes, related to the captioning format spec

Paul: what is the WG intended to do with this analysis?
... this is probably input for the captioning format related groups

Janina: that may be so
... WebSRT doesn't cover all requirements, but set of work items is contained
... TTML may need a profile

Paul: make sure to let the WG know what they should do with this document

Janina: we may need to do a two hour call

Paul: I want to encourage the TF to make sure you are aware of the January 22nd date; make sure to do a triage
other business

Paul: we had a CfC to publish

<paulc> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2010Dec/0135.html

<pimpbot> Title: Working Group Decision on ISSUE-4 (html-versioning) and ISSUE-84 (legacy-doctypes) from Sam Ruby on 2010-12-15 (public-html@w3.org from December 2010) (at lists.w3.org)

Paul: plan is to publish ASAP in January

(to chair)

paul: I don't hear any volunteers
