WCAG WG report from today's meeting - everything approved with one text modification

Hi gang,

At today's WCAG WG meeting, we discussed two surveys that Gregg 
generated with our material:

  * Almost Final Set of items from WCAG2ICT -2013-05-24
    <https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/AlmostFinal/results>
  * Ante-penultimate? survey from WCAG2ICT
    <https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/Antepenultimate/results>


Everything from the second survey was approved as proposed, with no 
edits.  Everything from the first survey, with the exception of the 
glossary term "process", was approved as proposed.  There was some 
concern & confusion about our text for "process", and Gregg's suggestion 
in the survey response to process 
<https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/AlmostFinal/results#xProcess> was 
approved as he proposed it.

This means that this Friday we should review & accept (or propose a 
counter proposal) to the note that WCAG WC approved for Process, which was:

    This term is only used in success criterion 2.4.5 Multiple Ways. The
    definitions of "set of documents" and "set of software" in WCAG2ICT
    require every item in the set to be independently reachable, and so
    nothing in such a set can be a "step in a process" that can't be
    reached any other way. The purpose of the the term's use in 2.4.5
    Multiple Ways (that items in a process are exempt from meeting that
    success criterion) is achieved by the definitions of "set of
    documents" and "set of software".

I am updating our wiki status pages to note all of this, including the 
WCAG WG approved text.
