Stakeholder email follow-up

    Sarah: I have been getting responses. Should I be archiving
    them outside of my inbox?

    Shawn: I don't think so, unless they are responding with
    certain ideas
    ... let's set up a folder that we can save them on.

    <scribe> ACTION: Sarah to set up a folder to archive any of the
    emails that have substantive response [recorded in
    [10]http://www.w3.org/2017/02/03-silver-minutes.html#action01]

      [10] http://www.w3.org/2017/02/03-silver-minutes.html#action01]

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-60 - Set up a folder to archive any
    of the emails that have substantive response [on Sarah Horton -
    due 2017-02-10].

    UNKNOWN_SPEAKER: for example, Andrew Arch wants to meet at CSUN
    and go over all organizations in Australia that want to
    participate.
    ... maybe we should email the stakeholders to say that we are
    having presentations at CSUN

    Jan: the EOWG is meeting at CSUN, I could ask one of the
    co-chairs of EOWG to follow up with Andrew.

    Jeanne: I like the idea of sending a note to the list about the
    meetings at CSUN

    Shawn: I think we need to make it clear that it is optional and
    that we will be sending people information if they can't attend

    Sarah: What do people think about being on the EOWG agenda?

    Jeanne: Brilliant. What do we want to ask them for?

    Shawn: I think we should go to them without an ask, and have
    them tell us what is confusing and how to present it to the
    outside world.

    <scribe> ACTION: Jan to talk with Brent and Sharron about being
    on the agenda [recorded in
    [11]http://www.w3.org/2017/02/03-silver-minutes.html#action02]

      [11] http://www.w3.org/2017/02/03-silver-minutes.html#action02]

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-61 - Talk with brent and sharron
    about being on the agenda [on Jan McSorley - due 2017-02-10].

    Sarah: Which would be a good one to invite the stakeholders to?

    Shawn: All of the above: It would be helpful to let them know
    all 3 presentations so they can choose what fits in their
    schedule. It would be helpful to list the 2.1 session, because
    a lot of people don't know about it.

    Sarah: Mark ?? of a non-profit advocacy group, Web
    Professionals. They have a newsletter going out in the middle
    of the month, and even can have a photo if we want.
    ... it's a good idea to get information and awareness out about
    Silver.
    ... we need to have an official spokesperson for the group,
    like Michael?

    Michael: I recommend Jeanne and Shawn being the front face,
    since Andrew and I work more in the background.

    Jeanne: When we meet on Monday, let's schedule a time to work
    on Silver outreach, Mark's article and CSUN presentations.

    Sarah: Start tweeting and include Stakeholders in the tweet.

    Jeanne: SilverStakeholders is a open hashtag in twitter.

    Sarah: It's too long

Researcher communications status and follow-up

    Sarah: We will take the followup email in the Researcher
    Followup folder (internal link for privacy reasons)
    ... change the sentence "I will be your point of contact" to
    "we will assign a regular point of contact"
    ... Dave will continue to be the point person until he gets
    more details
    ... then we can assign the person who will be the task force
    partner.

    Shawn: The next step is to see what they (or their students) to
    answer and what methods they want to use, then we can assign a
    partner.

    <trackbot> Closed action-57.

    Can they still fill out the research form? I really want Korea

    Jeanne: the survey is open to 28 February

    <Lauriat> Link to the current questions:

return to the research questions for additional input

    Sarah: How do we manage the change that needs to happen in
    society?

    Shawn: How do we manage the updates to Silver in response to
    changing technology

    Sarah: Make adoption of accessibility guidelines
    straightforward (minimize disruption to process and practice
    and culture)

    Jeanne: Make accessibility guidelines that facilitate a real
    change in how society manages digital access for people with
    disabilities?

    Jan: The biggest challenge I have is that people perceive it as
    a conformance issue and don't see the valid add of doing it

    Shawn: I got involved in doing that. There are a lot of
    organizations that have their own reason for setting up their
    own guidelines.

    Sarah: I think that is a success metric for Silver: That there
    will be a demonsterable decrease in adaptations of Silver.
    ... focusing on accessibility as a quality metric instead of a
    conformance metric.

    Jan: It would be a interesting supplemental research product
    and work with EO to develop

    Shawn: It would be very good for a landing page.
    ... specifically, it doesn't belong in the guidelines, but it
    is great for the supplementary materials.

    Jeanne: EOWG has it, but it is dated, more in the 2010
    timeframe than 2016.

    Jan: It is one of the biggest barriers -- people don't know how
    it can benefit the companies bottom line.

    Accessibility Business Case for Your Organziation

      [17] https://www.w3.org/WAI/bcase/Overview

    Jeanne: I was wrong, it has been updated

    Jan: We should be thinking about it now, because if we build
    that into Silver, the business case and the research will help
    us.
    ... we have to find companies that are doing this well.

    Shawn: I know a researcher who is working in this space and is
    doing research in this topic.

    Jan: I know someone woking on her PhD on this topic. I will
    reach out to her.

    Sarah: I'll move the research questions onto the wiki page.
