New AGWG survey on WCAG3 updates

   ca: Above is survey for AG discussion Tuesday
   ... Questions about reorg, then also section by section

   <Rachael> link to survey: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/silver-fpwd-2/

New ED version with HowTo and Method templates

   mc: My changes are editorial ...

   js: Show off the templates!

   rm: Number of edits made from AG review mtg two weeks ago

   mc: Discusses template ...
   ... howtos oriented at nondevelopers
   ... methods -- we now have for headings
   . examples more developer oriented
   . links to tests; info on scoring and rating; links to resources
   . styling comes from WAI website

   <sarahhorton> Looks great!
   . howtos and methods are top level folders in silver repo
   . name file for guideline
   . important not to change struct of headings, ids, etc., but simply add content
   . makes it easy to deploy in multiple ways going forward

   js: very excited to see them actuated!
   . we need outcome names today

   <MichaelC> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_Vu0ix-d-Qrv1wDZYQhfUX6jICE_bRalypp1rtcie8w/edit#gid=1900920998

   <Rachael> git template of how-to: https://github.com/w3c/silver/tree/master/how-tos/template

   <Rachael> Git template of methods: https://github.com/w3c/silver/tree/master/methods/template

   <PeterKorn> https://w3c.github.io/silver/guidelines

   wilco: asks for links ...

   mc: available from the guidelines
   . has short and long names

   js: asks subgroups to get names in place -- outcome names
   ... much has moved in past two weeks ...
   ... takes up amazon submission

   rm: thought some points were already addressed
   ... now editor's notes in both locations
   ... asking for feedback via wbs

   <Rachael> Just pointing out that both the Survey and meeting are joint

   <Rachael> https://w3c.github.io/silver/guidelines/#requirements

   <Rachael> https://w3c.github.io/silver/guidelines/#defining-conformance-scope

   rm: believes they're where amazon asked for them to be

   ca: reads notes ...

   <Rachael> https://w3c.github.io/silver/guidelines/#evaluation-scope

   rm: one more

   <jeanne> The model presented provides a structure for claiming conformance that is better suited to accommodate dynamic or more regularly updated content. We are exploring an alternative approach using holistic
   tests, sampling and/or other alternatives for reaching conformance in situations where testing all content is not possible. We also plan on including a definition and concept for substantially

   <jeanne> conforming.

   <kirkwood> "regardless of disability they live with" rather see: "regarless of ability or disability" (remove they live with)

   pk: suggests coming back in a few moments ...

   rm: suggests submitting edits over the weekend

   js: suggests some items noted under "not yet" are actually in guidelines, which we haven't looked at much yet

   <Rachael> for example we provide a way of handling friction through a critical failure
   . friction via critical path failures

   js: meanwhile back totemplate of the method
   . asks for discussion on handling dependencies of methods; related methods
   . eg. three methods for structured content; should they require each other?
   . phps all 3, but because of outcomes reqs

   <Chuck> ach Mich

   mc: since functional outcomes are already required; no need to say
   ... rather this method doesn't work unless this other also followed

   wilco: suggests multiple ways -- some with page struct
   . are they conditional?
   . is it 1? or all?

   js: we'll learn as we build up more content
   . for now it's 1

   sarah: understood one outcome and multiple methods for achieving it; but may need to act on multiple methods depending on content

   [discussion whether spreadh sheet is correct?]

   rm: intent for a clear .and. relation for outcomes; and .or. at method level

   pk: done first read and compare--thanks for working it in so quickly ...

   mc: suggests let's finish this topic first

   pk: yes, indeed

   <Rachael> And between Outcomes, Or between methods, An outcome should address the same result and affect the same subset of functional categories

   mc: multiple tests per method; so greater granularity; so mostly .or.
   ... room exists for exceptions, but should be an exception

   <Rachael> agreed!

   js: is there consensus that if one method requires another under the same outcome, that's what goes in the dependencies?

   <Chuck> +1 agreed

   mc: my hope!

   js: any disagreement?
   . asks sarah if this sounds workable?

   sarah: asks for clarification

   js: map outcomes

   sarah: yes

   js: back to amazon suggestions ...

   pk: asks about "simplified summary" -- entire block? where does "simplified" end

   js: response for request to have plain lang summaries

   mc: summaries should be separated block -- to be read or skipped; and is summary for entire section -- until next heading of the same heading

   pk: is summary of sec 1 the two sentences right underneath "simplified" or continue to ...

   mc: the box -- should be visible

   pk: do not see summary actually summarizes;

   <Rachael> +1 That makes sense.

   <Chuck> janina: I caught that there was some intent to set anything off is because I looked at the source and saw the asides. I didn't see a break of any kind.

   <Chuck> janina: No breaks there.

   sj: notes not demarcated for screen reader

   pk: notes that remaining intro sections should probably be summarized; but also to pull out an explicit "goal" section
   ... "move closer to the lived experience" -- that we get better and better and we strive to get better and better

   mc: partly writing style; and seemed more relevant to req doc than the guidelines

   pk: no complaint over tone alighnment!
   ... asks doesn't it make sense to call out the goals of the doc; more than an ed note

   mc: would like to think it over

   <Chuck> janina: There are goal statements scattered throughout. It would be an interesting exercise to pull them together and make a paragraph or 2 or 3 from them.

   <Chuck> Janina: I think it's very useful to make the changes and explain why, here's the goals.

   pk: suggests important to elevate the purpose

   <Zakim> jeanne, you wanted to address goal concerns

   js: not necessarily my opinion; but historically we've had lots of goals--possibly 4 goals docs most of which are multiple-page
   ... concerned it might push the timeframe back
   ... because this group as well as agwg agreed
   ... making it better for pwd we probably all agree; beyond is hard

   mc: agree that ed notes should generally be instructions to reader about things we're still working on

   <Wilco_> +1

   mc: so tend to agree should phps not be ed note
   ... but also want to respect chair views ...

   pk: other comments before hour ...
   ... in eval scope note
   ... final sentence great!
   ... trouble with first sentence; it's reverse from what we were saying
   ... any look one does is out of date when you finish doing it in a highly dynamic situation

   ca: asks whether we can take up via wbs and again tuesday

   pk: notes time limit on tuesday call

   <Zakim> MichaelC, you wanted to suggest email wordsmithing

   <Rachael> +1 to wordsmithing email. Hopefully by meeting we can have an alternate ready for review

   mc: suggests trying email thread to resolve?

   pk: will start with survey and we can try email

   <Chuck> +1 to dreaded email wordsmithing
