   <janina> Meeting: HTML-A11Y Task Force Teleconference

   <scribe> scribe: aardrian

Clocks Are Springing and Falling Around the Planet

   JS: Reminds us that the US and Europe will be out of sync
   during time change during next week.

REMINDER: Everyone is asked to rejoin the HTML-WG
[15]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2013Oct/0001
.html

     [15] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2013Oct/0001.html

   JS: If you have not already rejoined the HTML-WG, please do so
   ASAP. Participation in a11y TF is dependent on it.

   MS: Will be sending out reminder to TF participants. Will be on
   agenda for a few weeks.

Task Force Administration Update

   JS: Steve Faulkner is resigning role as co-facilitator of a11y
   TF, effective immediately. Will otherwise still be part of TF.
   ... Chaals and Janina wil continue as co-facilitators, a third
   may be added in the future.
   ... A hearty thanks to Steve for all he has done.

   JB: Also thanks Steve, as well as Janina and Chaals for their
   work.

PFWG Approves Revised Work Statement and Decision Procedures

   <Judy> JB: and thanks to Steve also for his commitment to stay
   with the TF documents and as a participant in the TF as well

   JS: PFWG is happy with procedures, at HTML-WG for
   consideration. CfC just started by Paul Cotton.

   PC: Forwarding CfC to TF as an FYI.

Longdesc LC Comments WBS
[16]http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2013Oct/0059
.html

     [16] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2013Oct/0059.html

   JS: Looking for last call comments on Longdesc, please go fill
   out the form. URI in agenda.
   ... Survey runs to midnight Boston time Monday.

Longdesc Testing Update

   MS: Longdesc tests submitted to repository, first round of
   feedback on naming convention. Awaiting results.

   <MarkS> [17]AAPI Test results

     [17] https://rawgithub.com/chaals/longdesc-tests/master/test-results.html#muftapi

   MS: Conducted AAPI testing, recorded results.
   [18]https://rawgithub.com/chaals/longdesc-tests/master/test-res
   ults.html#muftapi

     [18] https://rawgithub.com/chaals/longdesc-tests/master/test-results.html#muftapi

   JS: Have completed all tests?

   MS: Agreed.

   JS: Hoping we can progress through CR to Proposed Rec?
   ... Need to write it up, schedule interview, then can
   demonstrate requirements met.

   JB: Probably not before TPAC. Documentation can be a bunch of
   work. Falls to Mark.

   MS: Accepts the challenge.

   PC: Are we proposing skipping CR? It contains call for
   implementations.

   JS: Essentially, yes.

   JB: Anticipated implementation was good enough going into CR,
   needs verification.

   PC: Notes that skipping CR wasn't mentioned in last call, may
   be surprise to others not tracking closely.
   ... Is July 16 last call draft?

   <paulc>
   [19]http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-html-longdesc-20130716/

     [19] http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-html-longdesc-20130716/

   MS: Correct.

   PC: How does TF plan to handle running through both parent
   groups? Notify HTML-WG ASAP to avoid surprise.
   ... First time he has heard assertion to skip CR, acknowledges
   not being at every call.
   ... 3rd question: Does TF have view on whether it should be
   free-standing REC or folded back into HTML 5.0?

   JB: Wanted to wait until clearing LC before discussion with TF
   on preference for either.
   ... Timing suggests it could be published as stand-alone, then
   re-integrated before HTML 5.0 closes CR.

   PC: Plan 2014 is silent on this, does not preclude it.
   ... Go to CR, prove it has met exit criteria before first
   quarter 2014 to fold it back in.

   JB: Hoping in next week's meeting to frame out discussion to
   follow right steps for either path.
   ... Let's make sure this is clear on agenda for follow-up
   meetings.

   PC: Suggesting this should be a face-to-face topic for TPAC.
   Will add it to wiki.

   JS: Raises concern of packed agenda, may be though to get all
   the players at the table.

   <paulc> See
   [20]http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/wg/2013-11-Agenda#F2F_Topics

     [20] http://www.w3.org/wiki/HTML/wg/2013-11-Agenda#F2F_Topics

   JS: Has heard 2 things from CR period, more implementations and
   more visibility.

   PC: More implentations important to prove 3rd party can
   implement. Considered in call for implementations.

   JB: No clear discussion on exit requirements for CR, this can
   be topic of discussion for next week.

   PC: Happy to meet separately on this, considering travel
   schedule.

   <Zakim> Judy, you wanted to reflect on Paul's comment

New Ruby Extension Spec
[21]http://www.w3.org/TR/html-ruby-extensions/

     [21] http://www.w3.org/TR/html-ruby-extensions/

   JS: FYI - new Ruby Extension coming, flagging as something of
   interest for a11y reasons.
   ... Have someone to review, falls under plan 2014 to discuss
   technical issues on TF.
   ... Shane has taken up reading spec. Early in process.
   ... Use case requirements seemed strange.

   JB: Curious at timeline for Shane given that it's FPWD.

   <paulc> For information on the extension spec integration
   decision policy: see
   [22]http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy-v3.
   html#cr-integration

     [22] http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy-v3.html#cr-integration

   JS: Assigned action yesterday, but nothing specific.

   <Judy> JB: ...as Wu Wei may be interested in looking at this as
   well

   MS: Has looked at spec in past, seems like may be a challenge
   for AT to implement. Doesn't see too big a problem.

   <paulc> The Use Cases document was published at a Note:
   [23]http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby-use-cases/

     [23] http://www.w3.org/TR/ruby-use-cases/

   PC: Asking about use case document on recommendation track; was
   published as note.

   JS: May have an old one he is reviewing. Note makes sense.

   PC: Ruby spec resolves 5 of 25 open bugs on HTML. May be folded
   back into HTML 5 if it can catch up in the process.
   ... Could replace existing normative material in HTML5.
   ... Was published under CCBy licensing experiment. Mentioned in
   CfC.

New Media Community Group
[24]http://www.w3.org/community/inbandtracks/

     [24] http://www.w3.org/community/inbandtracks/

   JS: Noting that New Media Community Group should be of interest
   to a11y TF.
   ... It's getting traction/membership. Some of TF may want to
   participate.

Alt Edits Review

   JS: Come to point of stasis on 'alt.' Cleared WCAG about a week
   ago. Should be ready to move forward.

Bug Triage: Review of Resolved Bugs tracked by TF

   MS: Last week decided to clone accesskey bugs to HTML.next, has
   done that, left notes on old bugs.
   ... Has changed status, asking about appropriateness.

   PC: Check with editorial team.
   ... Asking about meeting for canvas interoperability items.

   JS: Scheduled for next week.

   PC: Noting that's two significant topics for next week.

   JB: Need information to identify which is critical before TPAC.

   PC: Do we take canvas to LC immediately and then back to CR
   with list of features at risk.

   JB: Suggests organizing/gathering information for
   conversations, prioritizing.
