      Agenda Review & Announcements


      Virtual TPAC 2020 Planning

Janina: Agendas starting to come together. Wiki page is up.

<becky> https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/wiki/Meetings/TPAC_2020

<https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/wiki/Meetings/TPAC_2020>


      Task Force Updates

Janina: RQTF has a document ready to be published. We have not granted
standing permissions to publish updated WDs. Need to create a new APA
policy position that any document that is not intended to become a
specification, once past FPWD, be publishable. Permission would still be
needed for FPWD and final draft.
... CfC on that will be published after this meeting - unless objections?

*no objections from the group*

Janina: Need browser buy-in for Pronounciation - thus need to create
more opportunities for feedback. Can we built a technical spec
containing both approaches that can be passed on to WICG etc.?

Irfan: Have discussed in the TF (and with WHATWG last year). Explainer
doc was based on attribute model, so have details on that. The newer
approach has some potential advantages though.

Janina: Sounds like the newer approach may have potential benefits
beyond accessibility (though both would work for our needs).

Irfan: is it suitable to put both approaches in the Explainer? Could
create prototypes based on both the attribute and SSML approaches.
... ...and could host them on the Wiki/similar.

Janina: Hoping we can decide between the two appraoches at TPAC. Need to
draft the technical approach for both.
... could publish as an editors' draft of the normative spec. Then reach
a decision as to which approach (and strip out the part not to be used,
then go to FPWD).

Irfan: *will add to TF agenda*

Neil: Would people read a full tech spec for TPAC? Could the explainer
be better?

Janina: Assumption was the technical spec will not be lengthy.

Irfan: It may be.

Paul: There's a significant part of the tech spec about how the browser
prepares the accessibility tree - we may not have the expertise to write
this at the moment.

Janina: *suggests asking Joanie*

Irfan: Around TPAC 2019 the Explainer was created and shared with
vendors. Creating a separate technical doc would take significant bandwidth.

Janina: Maybe we don't need the detailed accessibility tree section for
the current audience?

Neil: Suggest we highlihght the important open questions for which we
need input from specific groups. IIRC the Explainer doesn't mention
things we don't know/need to find out.

Irfan: If Joanie is able to join the Pronounciation TF next week that
would be helpful.

Janina: Welcome Paul, now the co-facilitator for Pronounciation.

*general support from the group :-)*

Janina: Personalization is getting closer to CR. Looking at messaging
currently. Maybe early September.

Becky: We have some open issues to be resolved too.
... e.g. internationalization


      FAST Progress


      New Charters Review
      https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22Horizontal+review+requested%22

      <https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22Horizontal+review+requested%22>

Michael: WAI IG charter: https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/228

<https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/228>
... Seems there is some similarity with APA.

Janina: Though APA is internal; WAI IG is more external.
... Should this be clarified?

Becky: They do talk about outreach prominently (which is a different
remit to APA).

Janina: There is a ~"throughout W3C" in there, but not prominent. Could
be confusing in isolation, but does the wider context (as Becky
mentioned) provide sufficient clarity?

Neil: The overlap is a little confusing; clarfication as to
outward-/inward-looking would be helpful.

*general support from the group*

      Actions Checkin (Specs)
      https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/track/actions/open

      <https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/track/actions/open>

Becky: Been following the discussion about where focus should go when a
dialog closes.

<becky>
https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/5678#issuecomment-675229182

<https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/5678#issuecomment-675229182>

Becky: Propose that we start with going back to the item that opened it
as an initial step (could be endorsed by APA).

Paul: +1 but also that if the item is no longer there (e.g. it was
deleted) we could go to an adjacent item.

Becky: does the group support the suggestion above?

Janina: sounds like if the discussion is going in this direction anyway
we can +1 the comment.

Becky: *to draft a comment*

Janina: May as well run a CfC.

<janina> ~ack m

Me: Another option with a table record deletion might be to focus the
table. Should we discuss on-list? Also an opportunity to reiterate how
disorienting focus management can be.

<MichaelC> https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/5811

<https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/5811>

Michael: Need to decide if we are interested in this issue.

Janina: yes

<MichaelC> https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/5812

<https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/5812>

Paul: Would this apply to things like iframes too? [Michael suggests
commenting on the issue to check]

*Group agrees we're interested in this*

<MichaelC> https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/5813

<https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/5813>

*General support in the group for UAs facilitating navigation of
landmarks (and headings) via keyboard shortcuts*

*We are interested in tracking*

Janina: should we look at this in Personalization?

Becky: It's already possible to support this with an extension.
... (as you can already get the accessibility info from the browser/DOM)

Neil: *has concerns as to how accurate it is [as a group leader] - how
does it get its data?*

Becky: *will investigate - it has promise*
