<JohnRochford> Jim, I can't get in to the conf call.

<JohnRochford> access codes being reported as invalid

<JohnRochford> I'm using the ones in your message

<JohnRochford> Has the meeting started?

<JohnRochford> That might be it

<JohnRochford> Good morning to you too!

<JohnRochford> I'm trying. Now finding password.

<JohnRochford> Hi, yes, I used that password. Unbelievably, I was just
presented with a CAPTCHA, which is inaccessible to me.

<JohnRochford> I shall try by phone again.

<JohnRochford> I will send it to you, Jim, via email.

<JohnRochford> I'm in WebEx now

Framework for requirements document
https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/low-vision-a11y-tf/wiki/Overview_of_Low_Vision#Categories

AWK: Looking at overview of lowvision Wikii page. Want to move it to Git Hub.
... How do we want to use it in the overview?

<allanj> Shawn categories:

<allanj> Luminance and color

<allanj> Visual acuity

<allanj> Perceiving (Letter Characteristics)

<allanj> Spacing for Reading

<allanj> Distinguishing

<allanj> Perceptual area

<allanj> Tracking

<allanj> Point of Regard and Proximity

AWK: Initially had some other factors.

<allanj> Printing is missing from list above

AWK: What makes the most sense?

<Wayne> is there a different code?

John: list near sighted and farsighted under visual acuity?

Shawn: maybe in the overview as it is related to all.

Jim: Should focus on: can’t see the screen.

AWK: Far more nuanced.

<allanj> Katie+

Shawn: We need to find the link to piror minutes

John: Do we need to figure this out now?

AWK: Good point.
... Is everything captured in the second group?
... Don’t think it is a problem.

Katie: Think it may be too broad.

AWK: Distinguishing may not fit.

Katie: Barriers to distinguishing. Or ability to distinguish.

<Wayne> One issue is that individual impairments may imply multiple categories

John: why are we going int solutions?

Shawn: 2 different things.

AWK: Feels like the distinguishing section is more about perceiving
element characteristics.

<allanj> Illumination/contrast discussion link added to the Overview Wiki

<Wayne> Fatigue occurs in almost conditions.

Katie: How about distinguishing and identifying?

AWK: The 3 things are definitely related.

Jim: Distinguishing is part of the spacing.

<shawn> how about Distinguishing Elements (e.g., headings)

Jim: All closely related.

John: Suggest don’t get into detail at this point.

AWK: look at tweaking these. Perhaps change the headings.

John: yes.

Katie: the need is the inability to distingusish.

<allanj> awk - requirement is the user needs to be able to distinguish

<JohnRochford> Clarification: I said "yes" to the characterization
that this is a user needs doc, not a solutions doc.

AWK: Need to look at categories more.
... Tracking feels like they may be needs or solutions.
... Overview is general document and a frame work.
... shouldn’t be about the solutions.

<JohnRochford> +1

+1

<shawn> +1 agree to Andrew's overview of the sections & this doc , and next

<allanj> overview of low vision issues - broad strokes, general. set
up a framework/categories

<allanj> requirements of specific user needs based on framework

<allanj> separate doc: solutions - techniques

<Zakim> Ryladog, you wanted to add that the NEED is to be able to
Distinguish and Identify

Katie: Need is to distinguish and identify.

Wayne: Wonder if we need a middle section and think of these in terms of POUR.

<shawn> Wayne: Visual acuity is physical limitation whereas Luminance is @@

AWK: one topic for overview is perceptual area
... Can have things fit together.
... Move text around so that we only have one list

Wayne: Kind of losing things with luminance and color. Contrast
sensitivity and light sensitivity.

<shawn> Wayne: contrast sensitivity, light sensitivity, color perception

AWK: For overview talk about 3 bullets.
... Categories and desired outcomes.

Wayne: Hard to measure fatigue. But we need to address it as it is a
barrier for users.

AWK: Yes, we need to address the fatigue issue.

Wayne: Environmental issues are important.

AWK: Can move categories to GitHub. Are people okay with that?

Shawn: maybe work in the Wiki for a while.

<shawn> [ thinking about POUR... most of these are P I think... I
agree save this until later ]

<allanj> jim tackle acuity overview

<allanj> wayne - luiminance and color

<allanj> andrew - perceptual

Wayne: Luminance and color

Jim: Visual acuity
