Done - Revisited

From: Gregg Vanderheiden <gv@trace.wisc.edu> · Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2005 01:38:13 -0500

The Brussels Face to Face is over.   Thanks to everyone who worked  so hard
before hand  and at the Face to Face. The Face to Face ran 11 hour days
until 8 when the Internet connection ended.   But the result is a much
improved Guidelines and clearing of many of the issues in the issues list.

A listing of all the resolutions from the meeting can be found at.

Ben also tried to show what the edits would all look like if implemented by
creating an "editors draft" incorporating them which is at.

http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/WD-WCAG20-20050613/

You can also find a link to it on our home page right next to the link to
our 'latest working draft'.  Ben tried to catch them all but if in doubt the
resolutions list should be the latest word.   Please note that later
resolutions may affect wording from previous resolutions so read all the way
to the end. 

All of the resolutions at the meeting were unanimous consent.  As is our
custom though, we post the resolutions to the list for comment and then
review comments from the maillist and from working group members who could
not make the F2F on the following Thursday call where we confirm or revise
text and apply it to the draft. 

There are a few places where the work was done right near the end - or where
the topic had not been discussed on the list enough etc. and we did not post
a resolution but rather just worked out wording or had a working group at
the end propose wording.   These items were (or will be shortly) posted to
the list and will be straw polled among the full working group to get
comments before deciding at the Thursday Telecon.   These included 

- 1.2  SC1 and SC2 - should they be moved to level 2?
- 2.3  change wording to refer to standards rather than quantify one
- 2.4  L2 SC1  How to handle? Needs fix - didn't figure one out in time.
- 4.2  Added baseline provisions. Replaced large UAAG block with material
        From 4.2 working group.   Final guideline all posted for comment.
- 2 or 3 level options
- Introduction - incorporating past discussions and new fixes. 

Nest Thursday the working group will review all comments and make final
revisions/confirmations.  The changes will then be applied to our working
draft and it will be released for public comment around the end of the
month, first days of July after the Ben has had time to incorporate the
changes.  

Thanks again to everyone. 

Gregg and John
