Ah... I found it... W3C's policy on media archiving says: "All multimedia (audio or video) produced or published by W3C MUST be accessible at time of posting. ... For most W3C video, all you need to do is provide a simple text transcript. Transcripts are cheap and easy (see FAQ on multimedia accessibility)." -- http://www.w3.org/2007/11/media-policies and the FAQ says: "Note: Minutes are not sufficient for a transcript of an audio or video of a meeting (unless done by a court reporter or someone who can capture every word)." -- http://www.w3.org/2008/06/video-notes.html#faq -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ gpg D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
