- Identify Scribe

- Heads Up Items:
 - Michael to chair while Rich is on vacation July 2 through July 19
 - aria-describedat from publishers mid-august
  - I am letting the keyboard shortcuts proposal discussion run a little
longer. There is good discussion on the list.

Discuss Freeze Date for Next Heartbeat Draft and what else we need in it -
Rich

Cleanup issues and actions (Getting 1.1 out the door):

- Action 1591 The checkbox roles does not support aria-readonly (note: no
issue was filed)
  - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1591
- ARIA-Readonly aria-readonly should apply to checkbox, check menu item,
switch, and radio menu item. It should not apply to radio. This will
require a corresponding taxonomy change. (Joanie)
- Action 1592 Switch role should not support "mixed" for aria-checked
(Joanie)
  - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1592
- Action 1417 Localized role description (Joanie)
 - https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/actions/1417

Meaty topics:

- Issue 683, 689, 655, 670 Make aria-level a required attribute for
role="heading". Also discuss values of "auto" and "subsection".
- https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/683
- https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/689

- Issue 651 aria-invalid should support more types of errors. Wants it to
point to an error message
- https://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/Group/track/issues/651
- Issue 669 Need ability to differentiate errors and reference error
messages (Rich)
  - Some comments: Need a separate description for errors so they may be
treated differently from help descriptions. (response time to announce
these needs to be faster)
 - Would like the ability to categorize the importance of messages.
(Cognitive needs the concept of an "importance level")

- Action 1642 aria-keyshortcut

- Charles comments:

- James Craig comments:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2015Jun/0071.html
- Dominique's response to James:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2015Jun/0089.html
- Current Proposed text:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2015Jun/0029.html
Notes: James raise some concerns about the DOM3 events spec. However, it is
the standard and we are not in a position of changing that.
Notes: Dominique states that when http requests are made we can determine
the locale but not the keyboard attached. So, the best guess is to
define keyboard mappings based on locale.



- Review Open Action Items and Issues (Many overdue items - need to get new
dates and determine if must reassign)
