minutes from the Silver meeting of 5 March 2021

== Summary ==

  * Reminder that US and Canada daylight savings time begins March 14 so
    W3C meetings for the rest of the world change.  Check the link in
    the email and on the web page with the link to the Zoom call for
    world clock calculations.
  * Chuck gave a followup report that new task forces are created by
    Working Groups, they are not started on their own.
  * We discussed Github Issue 240 on changing the disability model from
    medical to social. This was a "sense of the group" conversation so
    that a proposal could be written.  While the group endorsed the
    social model, there was hesitation to move totally to a social model
    because:
      o The rest of the world hasn't transitioned to a social model so
        that we should balance and include both
      o The phrasing suggested by the commenter "inaccessible websites
        disable people" implies that people are not disabled when they
        stop browsing, which does not recognize the reality of
        disabilities.
      o Some preferred to say that websites are built in a way that is a
        barrier to people.
      o Charles Hall emailed a proposed change to the Requirements
        document
        <https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-silver/2021Mar/0013.html>
        before the meeting, but the commenter wanted a change to the
        Introduction
      o Accessibility as a Civil Right is predicated on the medical
        model and we do not want to lose that.
  * Jennifer and Peter agreed to write a proposal for a change to the
    Introduction and a response to the commenter
  * The Errors subgroup gave an update on their proposed Outcomes and
    Guidelines

    .  The group had minor feedback, but ran out of time before getting
    to the questions that the Subgroup wanted feedback on, so the
    conversation will continue on Tuesday.
