regrets
I have alreaedy given my thoughts on the first two proposals - I'll respond
to anything new from the minutes.
With regard to a conformance scheme I favour using the principles of WCAG
1.0, although I am aware of the issue raised by cognitive disabilities of
various kinds meaning that there is a risk of completely flattening the
priority scheme.

The following issues will be discussed at the meeting:
1. Gregg's conformance proposal and the follow-up messages which have
been posted to the list: see the thread starting at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2001OctDec/0047.html
2. The question of whether, and if so how the guidelines should
address situations in which the need for accessibility is
counterbalanced against countervailing priorities affecting the design
of the content: see Charles' contribution at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2001OctDec/0025.html
and Cynthia's argument at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2001OctDec/0054.html
with my analysis of some of the options available to the working group
at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2001OctDec/0057.html
3. If time permits, we should commence discussion of the principles to
be used in distinguishing between the different levels of
conformance. WCAG 1.0 bases its conformance levels on a priority
scheme, and we need to decide what distinctions should play a
comparable role in WCAG 2.0.
