RE: Understanding where the remote meetings work fits

Thank you, Scott, for giving consideration to this question. My personal view (not as Co-Facilitator, but as a Task Force participant) is that it could readily be published as an APA Working Group Note – a byproduct, one might suggest, of our related investigation of real-time communication accessibility.
There is overlap here with the scope of the Education and Outreach Working Group, as has I think been acknowledged previously by others. They should at least be invited to review it. They may not wish to take over responsibility for it, due to their existing workload. Thus I suspect (though this is purely informed speculation) that it is we who will need to carry it to publication, if we want it to be published in the near term. Clarification of the collaboration opportunities with EO would be valuable, however.
The alternative to note status would be something less formal, published on the W3C/WAI Web site, I suppose. I don’t know whether there are established process expectations in that case. I agree with Janina that this document would benefit from undergoing the formal public reviews that note-track documents receive. The messaging associated with it could be awkward due to a perception of overlap with other work, and the relationship with Education and Outreach. On the other hand, it seems to me we do wish it to receive public attention, for otherwise it won’t achieve its purpose of influencing practice.
A third option would be to divide it up and to feed the components to other working groups and other document development efforts. The problem, from my perspective, with this option is that there currently don’t appear to be good destinations for the pieces that we would expect to be published within a reasonable amount of time.
Do we want it published soon, in an approximation of its present form, and with formal public review? If so, then the Note track is the best established path, but a less formal publication would also be an option. In either case, this Task Force will most probably end up taking the responsibility for completing it, unless EO want extra work or would contemplate a joint arrangement with APA.
Obviously, the assumptions on which I’m founding these comments could be mistaken. They’re only my personal views and perceptions – and somewhat speculative.

and a few others, I’m of the view that the remote meetings draft seems to fit the requirements for being progressed into a Note base don the definitions.  I had a concern previously that as it provides guidance to multiple audiences it may be an  issue but I can’t see this defined as an issue specifically.

What do others think?  I’m still not entirely clear on the difference between a Note, a resource and statement in terms of defining the work so it’d be helpful to discuss on list before our next meeting.

Thanks everyone,

Scott.

Thanks for that Jason. I had a read through prior to yesterday’s meeting and it’s looking really good at this stage, great work.

Also from the meeting, I’d like to follow up on Janina’s comment that we need to identify what we’re doing with this, and by memory we agreed two weeks ago that there was plans to discuss on the WAI call

That said, I’m thinking that as a group we can help progress what we think is best for the document, and for me it’d really help if I could read some definitions as to how W3C defines particular documents. Is there a link where it specifically explains the differences between Note, resource and statement?  I thinkthis’d be helpful in the review to see what definitions line up best with the content at the moment and make some decisions Abou it going forward.

Thanks everyone,

Scott.

Dear colleagues,
Time constraints did not permit us to discuss these proposed changes to Accessibility of Remote Meetings today. Thus, any review that you can offer prior to next week’s meeting would be welcome in order to facilitate progress.
I also anticipate further discussion of our publication plans for this document (raised briefly at today’s meeting, but likely to be considered more fully next week).
The original note regarding the changes is reproduced for convenience below.
