RE: MATF Minutes September 24, 2020

It looks like there are a couple of distinct perspectives here.

Obviously there are differences between mobile app, mobile hybrid & mobile web. And we must create guidelines that apply to web, ideally more. If something doesn't work across both mobile web & desktop web then it doesn't work as a web guideline.

We need to understand the separate conversations but come to one conclusion.

Please be clear about which context your comments are coming from. It wasn't particularly clear from the meeting minutes, but that could just be because it's lacking the context of the call.

Kind regards,

Then who is having the desktop conversation, officially? Because I'm fairly sure that AGWG as a whole is expecting the TF here to usher through the SC in general, not just look at the mobile-specific aspect. 
And note that the end result must still be a single SC that applies to all platform, it can't be scoped to "for mobile" or "for touch devices", or even give a "for touch, it must be this, for mouse/stylus, it must be this" as devices inputs can be fluid and change at any moment (e.g. a mouse being paired with a nominally touch-only device; a "desktop" 
device with a touchscreen as well as a mouse; etc)
