... Should have a WD update on April 6.

Michael Cooper - due 2018-04-01].
<MichaelC> [21]Packaging on the Web
[21] https://www.w3.org/TR/web-packaging/
Michael: Packaging on the Web - assume we don't need to do
anything.
Janina: Pretty boring - we don't care
<MichaelC> [22]Selectors Level 3
[22] https://www.w3.org/TR/selectors-3/
Michael: Went straight from REC to CR. No comment period for
us.
Janina: Why?
Michael: Process does not allow this.
Janina: Just errata - okay.
W3C Verticals [23]https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/wiki/Verticals_to_Track
[23] https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/wiki/Verticals_to_Track
Janina: Michael has created a Wiki for us, for develop thoughts
on verticals.
... More specifics later in the agenda.
<JF> +1 to a WebVR workshop
Leonie: Suggestion to hold an accessibility workshop on WebVR,
possibly hosted by a company in Spain.
Janina: State of combining VR and AR = XR?
<JF> any idea of potential timeline?
Leonie: People were surprised by this idea.
... Workshop probably in the first half of this year.
John: In San Diego?
Leonie: Probably not.
Janina: How to proceed with the development of the verticals?
Michael: We have a name for each vertical. Could help
kick-start stuff.
... Can these people prepare a list of things to do?
... Or could we come up with a template for structuring
verticals.
... Ask people to develop proposals for verticals.
... Structure should be attractive to people.
Gottfried: One vertical is the maximum i can do.
Michael: We could make this a general rule.
Janina: We will discuss this in the coordination meeting today.
Charter Renewal
Janina: We planned to have a draft ready in March. Need to
start drafting now in Feb.
... Myself an Michael will be involved. Anybody else?
... Hearing none...
Other Business
Janina: Follow-up from our comments on TTML and WebVTT - thanks
to Gottfried and John
... Decision requests are sent out.
... At least two comments had a history on previous comments we
made.
... We need to record the back-references.
John: I will follow up with David to attach our comments to the
right issues.
Michael: The spec itself does also not link to Github.
<JF> ACTION: JF to follow up with WebVTT comments due Fewb 6
<trackbot> Created ACTION-2167 - Follow up with webvtt comments
due fewb 6 [on John Foliot - due 2018-02-07].
Michael: Email response went to w3c archive only.
<JF>

John: Folks from TTML created a series of new issues.
... We assumed that captions can be fine-tuned by the user.
This is now being discussed by people involved in TTML.
... They are concerned about implementability and impact on
content.
... It has a potential impact on the new SC in WCAG 2.1 on text
spacing.
[25]https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#text-spacing
[25] https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#text-spacing
Janina: Good to have discussion.
John: We need to be involved.
Janina: I understand that they are concerned about layout
issues. We need to explain meaningful use cases to them.
John: Could be based on accessibility support.
... Their concern is that TTML is used in broadcast video.
Maybe a set-top-box may not be as scalable as more advanced
media players.
<scribe> ... New discussion needs to be teased and documented.
Janina: I will subscribe to the thread, and see if i have
something to say.
John: Could part of APA help me to drive this discussion?
... This wg may not be actively monitoring activities at WCAG.
Janina: What is the likelihood that WCAG 2.1 should be tweaked?
John: Nigel pulls what he calls "conflicting requirements".
... Need for system defaults may be critical.
... Sites implementing their own subtitle players.
... Extensible model for player recommendations
... There is a blur between content creation and
hardware/software for rendition.
Gottfried: Personal preferences involved?
John: "No loss of content incurs" is impossible.
... (that's what Nigel says)
Janina: I don't see the need for changing WCAG 2.1 from that.
John: We need to think about this, and make sure that what we
ask for is implementable.
... We might note it as an item for next week's APA call.
... We need to maintain this discussion in the Github repo.
... If this continues, we might ask Nigel to join a call.
Janina: Are we asking people to violate WCAG 2.1?
John: Rather: Are we asking more than WCAG 2.1 requires
... If we do not have a technique that does this for closed
captioning, can we still require it?
Michael: We do not have a horizontal review for WCAG 2.1.
Adding an exception would constitute a substantial change.
... Maybe we need horizontal review in the future?
John: In MAUR, we have assumed that styling is possible for
captions in WebVTT and TTML.
Gottfried: If you look at Youtube, they do it.
John: I think their concern is more on the broadcast layer.
... It's about set-top-boxes, and maybe Apple TV.
... More constrained abilities for modifying user settings.
Janina: It depends on the device.
... My smartphone can do more than my tv.
John: Can we define exceptions via techniques?
Michael: We will have to decide once we know specifics.
Janina: The solution could be a second device (printer, second
screen).
John: Can we explain this in plain English?
... and provide examples in our techniques.
Janina: This is a strong point from MAUR - was adopted by TTML
and WebVTT, but now we have these edge cases.
... Maybe we still have ways on small devices to satisfy user
needs.
John: Need mechanisms for edge cases. Conversation with
technical guys needed.
... Needs to be feasible in a real technical situation.
... Nigel loves to take these challenges and work on them.
... We might need a "summit meeting" in the next 2-3 weeks.
Janina: I agree.
... Let's keep going, and see where it goes.
... The call is adjourned.
