Dear Makoto Ueki, Thank you for your comments on the 11 Dec 2007 Last Call Working Draft of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0 http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-WCAG20-20071211). The WCAG Working Group has reviewed all comments received on the December draft. Before we proceed to implementation, we would like to know whether we have understood your comments correctly and whether you are satisfied with our resolutions. Please review our resolutions for the following comments, and reply to us by 31 March 2008 at public-comments-wcag20@w3.org to say whether you accept them or to discuss additional concerns you have with our response. Note that this list is publicly archived. Please see below for the text of comments that you submitted and our resolutions to your comments. Each comment includes a link to the archived copy of your original comment on http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-comments-wcag20/, and may also include links to the relevant changes in the WCAG 2.0 Editor's Draft of 10 March 2008 at http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/WD-WCAG20-20080310/. Note that if you still strongly disagree with our resolution on an issue, you have the opportunity to file a formal objection (according to 3.3.2 of the W3C Process, at http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/policies.html#WGArchiveMinorityViews) to public-comments-wcag20@w3.org. Formal objections will be reviewed during the candidate recommendation transition meeting with the W3C Director, unless we can come to agreement with you on a resolution in advance of the meeting. Thank you for your time reviewing and sending comments. Though we cannot always do exactly what each commenter requests, all of the comments are valuable to the development of WCAG 2.0. Regards, Loretta Guarino Reid, WCAG WG Co-Chair Gregg Vanderheiden, WCAG WG Co-Chair Michael Cooper, WCAG WG Staff Contact On behalf of the WCAG Working Group ---------------------------------------------------------- Comment 1: Progress Bar Source: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-comments-wcag20/2008Feb/0152.html (Issue ID: 2591) Status: VERIFIED / PARTIAL/OTHER ---------------------------- Original Comment: ---------------------------- Just to clarify. Is the progress bar, which shows the status of the progress with the animation, "part of an activity where the changes are essential"? Should it be stopped within 3 seconds or have "Pause" and "Restart" button? --------------------------------------------- Response from Working Group: --------------------------------------------- We have added a definition for essential to help clarify this: essential if removed, would fundamentally change the information or functionality of the content, and information and functionality can not be achieved in another way that would conform The purpose or function of a progess bar is to show the time-based progress of some activity, so it would be essential. Success Criterion 2.2.2 also says that "Moving or blinking content that is pure decoration can be stopped or hidden by the user." If there are aspects of the implementation of the progress bar that are purely decorative, such as flying files, some method needs to be provided to pause and restart, dismiss or hide the decorative movement for users who find it distracting.
