    Jeanne: Reviewing high-priority research questions, will map
    them to interview questions
    ... Conformance structure interviews, reviewing questions

    Jennison: Sharing questions in advance helps, saves time
    ... Provide interview prompt in the script, will provide
    examples

    Jeanne: Hoping to do a lot of the interviews
    ... Do a test run of the questions, will help figure out
    prompts

    Shari: Prompts are important, we can identify those from a
    pilot of interviews
    ... Has access to software we can use for analysis
    ... Not new software, but we can try it
    ... Legacy and visionaries are smaller numbers, maybe do by
    hand
    ... Conformance are larger numbers, might be helpful to use
    software
    ... Want to make sure responses are related to what we are
    trying to find out
    ... Want to make sure we have standards for how we are
    interpreting the responses

    Jennison: We could limit the number of interviews overall

    Jeanne: Conformance group has people in lots of different roles
    ... We may have people we would interview twice
    ... Important to capture legacy perspectives

    <jeanne> Sarah: Reminder for all of us, the reason we are
    asking the questions is to help us make decisions when we move
    into the next phase of the process. This is design research,
    not academic research. This should help us make decisions about
    what to do next.

    <jeanne> ... we may want to do a brainstorming activity of the
    phrases we would want to say as a result of the interviews. We
    don't want to say "20% of the people spoke about this".

    <jeanne> ... we will gather themes and the themes are really
    useful. The actionable themes will bubble up and we can carry
    those forward into the prototypes.

    <jeanne> ... for example, "the requirements for being a WCAG
    success criteria are: testable, passive voice, etc." We may say
    that the actionable theme going forward are that there needs to
    be simple language.

    <jeanne> Jennison: We need to document that if there are
    particularly popular themes.

    <jeanne> Sarah: Yes, but we are doing a design exercise. As
    Henry Ford famously said, "if I built what people wanted, I
    would have built a faster horse." We don't want to build a
    faster horse.

    Shawn: Get a target list of people overall and identify one to
    pilot
    ... Michael Cooper has ideas for legacy interviews

    <jeanne> ACTION: Jeanne to talk to Amy to get on TimBL's
    schedule. [recorded in
