- Identify Scribe

- Status on wiki for tracking user agent defects on ARIA 1.1 features:
Michael

- Hot items and heads up:
  - Many issues that exist are waiting on a rewrite of the rewrite of the
text alternative computation section before we can address these issues.
  - In coming meetings we must focus on action items
  - Will need to meet with Steve Faulkner to ensure we have sufficiently
closed HTML5 gaps with issues and action items. (Face to Face issue?)
  - August 25 ARIA Caucus meeting with Digital Publication Interest Group

- Meaty Topic (Name computation):

  - Issue 637 and Action 1494 (access to digital math):
    - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1494
    - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/637
    - (Rich's Post)

 - Issue 648: Role computation with native host language semantics  (we
need agreement on this prior to August 25 meeting with digital pub-ig
people)
    - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/648
    - This requires host languages to allow other values not defined in
ARIA today. (We do have a fallback computation mechanism to handle this)
    - We need to ensure that the spec. says we don't need a role if the
native host language supports has strong native semantics that are
equivalent to the role value. This will be addressed with action 1405.
    - Action 1401 is effected as HTML validator will not take epub name
spaced role values: https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1401


  - Issue 633: Applying interactive types to static document roles (e.g.
arrow navigable lists of links vs. having to convert to a listbox)
    - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/633
    - Discuss this only if Matt King is on

  - Issue 632: Define AccessibleDescription
    - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/632

  - Issue 554: Should elements inherit certain attr values from ancestor
elements? aria-relevant does. What about aria-required and aria-invalid?
        - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/554
        - Note: Alex Surkov referred to the issue of having aria-required
on  role="group"

  - Issue 653: Need to support selectors in ARIA Relationships. Action 1427
says "Pending Review" but I don't see a proposal.
    - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/653
    - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1427

- Less Meaty Topics:

  - Issue 668: Redesigning the aria spec. to use h1 for sections if title
role is created. Title role was move to ARIA 2.0. Suggest moving this
    to ARIA 2.0
    - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/668
  - Issue 487: List Managed States and define mappings for them
    - Is there anything we need to for the ARIA 1.1 spec? This says you
want us to list managed states.
    - Action 980 is an action for the Core Mapping Spec. by David Bolter
due date August 22.
    - Created ACTION-980 - Define mappings for managed aria related states:
aria-setsize, aria-posinset, arla-level, focused, focusable with reference
to section 5.5 bullet 1 of the UAIG.
  - Issue 636: This issue also calls for a localized name in addition to
role description
    - Do we want a localized name for ARIA 1.1? Names should already be
localized.
  - Issue 634: Video and audio roles (simple groups, not full functionality
apis)
    - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/634
    - Should we move this to ARIA 2.0? Since. we are doing role
descriptions for region roles.
    - We have a role description now for ARIA 1.1 to be added for Issue 636
and Action 1417
    - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/636
    - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1417
  - Issue 657: Introduce a "term" role: Equivalent to HTML DD.
    - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/657

    - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1201
