Re: Summary and Minutes of Silver Conformance meeting of 17 December 2019

FYI, I am on the ITI VPAT committee so it is good that I can get an early
glimpse of conformance for Silver and what effects that might have on the
VPAT template for claiming conformance in an Accessibility Conformance
Report.

Best regards,

Mary Jo

Subject:	[EXTERNAL] Summary and Minutes of Silver Conformance meeting of
            17 December 2019



== Summary ==


We received an update on the Challenges document moving through the AGWG
approval process.  AGWG members replied to the survey accepting the
document for a FPWD this week. There were a number of comments, and the
document will go back for updates and another survey in January.


We worked more on the Sampling proposal.  We discussed whether we should
have component testing, flow testing or both.  We want to be able to
provide all three options so that organizations can evaluate their site in
the way that works for them.  For example, a company wanting to evaluate
their website could declare the major workflows that a user could
encounter. Silver conformance section would tell them how to select
workflows and a high level of how to test workflows.  Within the workflow,
there would be components that would need to be tested, like navigation and
footer, that would also have to be accessible as part of the workflow.


We discussed how VPAT would fit into the Silver conformance.  Once the
Silver conformance model gets a little more solid, we want to involve ITI
so that the VPAT associated with Silver would reflect the Silver
conformance model.  For example, a Silver VPAT could start with an
organization (company) listing the primary workflows tested.  This is
hypothetical, and no contact has yet been made with ITI.
