Prioritize remaining SC for surveys before Aug 22 cutoff

Jim: cut off on new SCs is Aug 22
... Wayne, Jim, and Marla will work on metadata SC
... resize content should be okay.
... we will proritize later.
Issue 10 Interface control Contrast (coming up next week on AG - for sure)
- need anything Glenda?

Glenda: all dependent on pushback on research.

Jim: Gordon Legge message
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-low-vision-a11y-tf/2017Jun/0054.html

<allanj> from gordon legge: Bottom line: Contrast requirements for form
controls should be equivalent to contrast requirements for text.

Glenda: let’s go with Legge’s research
... let’s call him if needed.

<Zakim> steverep, you wanted to ask if we can address my comment about
dropping "interactive"

steve: no research the other way.

<ScottM> I’ve been researching low vision for the last 42 years :)

steve: this is coming out of the LVTF. They need to trust the users with
disabilites.

Glenda: The Star in Google Drive is an issue.

steve: commented on Github on interactive

glenda: agree. I think the word interactive is redundant also.
... appreciate the support.

<Glenda> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/Top3_18Apr2017/results

glenda: On the survey 9 says ready to go. David asking for an amendment.

<Glenda> Link to survey is here
https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/Top3_18Apr2017/

Laura: 2 on the survey say “This SC has other significant issues.”

Glenda: Greg Lowney suggests some rewording
... It is moving in the right direction.

Jim: let’s hold on 4.5:1.
