preview agenda with items from two minutes

   <scribe> Scribe: JF

   agenda

   JS: around the table - any comments questions?

   guest on call is George Kerscher

   cyns: conversation around webapps and HTML re-chartering (etc.)

   notes an incubator group - thinking about moving WAPA work into that GIT repository

   good to have a11y join early - "founding member"

   JS: ... need to look at what else needs to be moved over there

   cyns: believe that is the reason for the incubator group

   RS; suggest waiting a bit, until dust settles - notes large discussion around naming and other bikeshed activities

   cyns: sees the opportunity to get in on the ground floor

   RS: is there any indication of when this lands as something concrete

   JS: HTML charter expires next week - anticipates a minor extension while this shakes out

ARIA.Next Items; D-Pub Roles FPWD

   JS; looking specifically at the D-Pub Roles FPWD

   JS: believe all of the issues noted last April have been addressed

   Out for CfC now -

   if all on call are good, wish to record PF support

   JS: CfC is open until Sunday

   decision will likely be made on Monday of next week

   RS; wants to thank the group for dealing with a number of issues - BRAVO!

   JS +1

   GK: D-Pub folks appear to be happy with this

   notice will go out to D-Pub mailing list as well

   JS: want to now move to describedat discussion

   RS: are we looking for a forma vote on the D-Pub/ARIA stuff?

   JS: any objections to CfrC

   RESOLUTION: PFWG supports the FPWD of ARIA Digital Publishing

   JS: turning to describedat

   some believe that we may use annotations instead

   may look at that, given strong pushback on describedat from some corners

   RS: what is clear is that we need a direct response from publishers - that this is what they need and they will be using it (commitment)
   ... give until mid-August for those signals - need multiple publishers to respond

   if no movement, then it will drop from spec

   JS: looking for emails, or looking for participation on an ARIA call?

   RS: yes, both

   JS: To re-state - Apple claims to have spoken to publishers, asking them what they need. Apparently those publishers replied that they are being told they need this.

   Tzviya: we talked about this on the digital publish call - plan is to send out a note explaining the issue

   <tzviya> http://www.w3.org/blog/dpub/2015/06/23/dpub-ig-telco-2015-06-22-aria-stem-survey-css-web-publications/

   Gist of message is: most publishers are just beginning to embrace accessibility, and all that it offers

   so, for example, when a publisher goes to Benetech and delivers books, and Benetech explains "you need this", the publishers don't really know/understand the issue

   so, anticipate seeing a note from our group shortly

   RS: trying to anticipate how publishers will be using this. Anticipate strong push-back still

   tzviya: so you want publishers (Random House, etc.) to come to an ARIA meeting and talk about this

   RS: will be on vacation for part of this time - want to give the publishers enough run-way to prep for this

   GK: here are my concerns

   publishers may be required to provide more information in their mainstream product than they are used to

   for example, WebGL or Canvas - contracts will require them to make the work accessible

   tzviya: the fact that it can be used on any element is huge

   (discussion around getting other publishers involved)

   JS: thanks to the D-Pub folks for joining the call

preview agenda with items from two minutes

Actions Review (Specs) http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/open

   JN: two actions on me, need to get on them

new on TR http://www.w3.org/TR/tr-status-drafts.html

   MC: DOM 4 Last CAll - we looked at this previously - question around process on this

   <MichaelC> DOM 4

   JS: believe that Shane reviewed - nothing for us to be concerned about

Community Groups http://www.w3.org/community/groups/

   <MichaelC> Web Background Sync Community Group

   <MichaelC> HTML5 Korean Community Group

   JS: hoping to develop outreach at TPAC

   cyns: wondering if W3C has translation resources for this kind of outreach

   JS: suspect this will be developed in the WAI CG that Judy is working on

   JF: asked about whether multi-language support could grow?

   MC: complex - it has been discussed but nothing firm

   JS: there are formal translations of W3C Recommendations

   MC: right, but those translations are not directly funded by W3C - is volunteered under a process

Rechartering Continued

   MC: hoping to see something shortly

   appears we are extended to July 31st, notice to go out along with new charter package proposal

   JS: should have no impact on publishing plans

   MC: may have a minor impact on August publishing, but nothing urgent in the queue

TPAC 2013 Update

   <MichaelC> Meeting Page notes for ARIA

   JS: waiting for re-chartering discussions before we can sign-on for attendance.

   <MichaelC> Meeting Page notes for APA

   wiki pages have been established

   pages now need content / ideas / topics

   cyns: can we add things to those pages, other ideas (i.e. want to discuss moving WAPA, etc.)

   MC: note that under the APA page

   JS: there is a lot of change, and ownership changes - we will want to ensure this is all covered, ensuring that APA continues to perform the overview
   ... notes that next week there are 2 major holidays - Canada (July 1) and USA (July 4th) - not sure of impact on meetings next week
