Summary of Action Items
<scribe> Agenda:
<scribe> Scribe: Jan
AC: I'm having one of our developers go through the ATAG 2.0 implementation guide with an eye to Defacto
... has some interesting questions

JS: Those questions would be good to have...could form basis of questions for developrs

1. Re-chartering update (Jeanne)

JT: Where's Cherie...having difficulty with telecon?
... Re-chartering?

JS: Still not out to AC...
... May try to get another extension (ends Sept 30)

JT: I guess we will wait to hear

2. CR process update (Jeanne and Jan)

JS: We are out for comments... comments due Oct 1
... Checking if we received any comments...
... None so far

3. Implementation report update (Jan)

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2013JulSep/att-0068/ATAG2ImplementationReport20130916.html

JS: Will move that to http://www.w3.org/WAI/AU/2013/ATAG2ImplementationReport.html

JR: Great to hear that Defacto will be updating their column in the report

JT: I was at Google Accessibility summit last week...
... I talked to their Course Builder grroup.
... Say they will prompt for captionning, descriptions, captions, accessibility metadata....
... So I hope to continue those discussions.
... Hoping that once we have one Google product, we can get more.

JS: Great.

JT: I talked to another group as welll... Kanan (sp?)
... So we should have good representation in CMS area
... Updates Cherie....
... Any other updates?

AC: Are there any tools we should look at?

JR: Development tool for applet, scripts, or applications... any that you use.

4. Request from EO to be more clear about how our levels (A, AA, AAA) were set.

JR: Here's our explanation: http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-IMPLEMENTING-ATAG20-20120410/#intro_understand_levels_conformance

JS: New approach is that they want help for newcomers

TB: Speaking from govt, anything that can be done would be helpful

JS: What kinds of things?

TB: Not sure....but in some other accessibility-related realms, people are looking for appropriate things to put in contracts etc.
... I know its a significant problems in acquistion related domains

JS: Could you try to talk to some people and get ideas?

TB: Yes I can attempt to find out something (but don't give me an action item)...there may not be anything.

JS: It's an important audience that we should serve if we can

JT: A bit different from what's in the agenda item....sounds like requirements

<alastair> Some of the docs from here might be useful, D1 or D3 perhaps? www.mandate376.eu
TB: I'd like to see anything that make the document more usable for acquistion officials

AC: Mandate376 may have some useful wording

JT: Seems that there are several ways to approach this....
... eg. text framing of rationale for A, AA, AAA
... something that can be put into reqs documents

JR: Gives example of how AODA makes use of WCAg2 A and AA

AC: In Mandate376...also makes heavy use of WCAG2 and its levels

JT: How should we move forward....
... There does seem to be discussion on the CG

TB: Any implications for ATAG2 at CR

JS: What Shawn has said, is to put all that info in Implementing ATAG2 (the informative, nonnormative) doc

JT: OK, we will monitor this a bit to see how it plays out
... To see where CG discussion goes
... Any other issues?
... OK great, see you next Monday Sept 30
