LN: Liddy Nevile
JT: Jutta Treviranus
JR: Jan Richards
CMN: Charles McCathieNevile
CV: Carlos A Velasco
JT: Given low participation and conflict with IMS. Should we cancel it?
CMN: Does not mind either way.
CV: Not sure if he can make it.
CMN: Georgio was planning on attending.
JT: ACTION: Will discuss with Daniel D. and Georgio before cancelling. Will get back to the group.
LN: Morning - Tools, Afternoon - Meta data, tool makers could present what they are doing, meet with the public. It would not be a working group meeting.
JT: Who is going? CMN, Judy, PJ, LN, not Carlos, not Heather
LN: Final agenda has not been set - but it will be public so it should be interesting to them.
JT: What could the AUWG role?
LN: Panel session with speakers representing tool developers. Start off with where the rules come from and what does it mean to get it right.
JT: Members should send other ideas for the session to the list.
LN: Dublin core accessibility group has just started and will meet in Hawaii
LN: ACTION ITEM: Will cross post dublin core notices to AU group.
JT: Where should the next meeting be? WebCT has offered to host in Vancouver. CSUN is another possibility (other WAI groups meeting for 2 days after).
CMN: CSUN is not the best place for AU.
JR: What about organizing another meeting in Hawaii?
JT: That's in May. Blackboard may be able to host in Washington DC.
LD and CMN will be in Boston in mid-April. CMN won't be at CSUN.
CV: Can't make that, can make Boston but agrees it's not a good venue.
JT: We will be trying to organize with the EO group to push the ATAG documents. F8:30am, W4pm. Neither time is good for Australia.
JT: Lots of proposals.
JR: Tried to make categories more explicit. Introduced "direct" and "indirect".
CMN: Wants to seperate document editors from direct code editors
CV: Agrees with CMN but would keep markup in a separate category from scripting, etc..
JR: Describes new approach. Will send proposal to the list.
CMN: Points out that structured/unstructured division is not real
CMN: We have a whole lot of techniques that are mainly WCAG checkpoints. We need to flesh those out and then look at helpful splits.
JT: Would we try classifying some now.
CMN: Let's do it on the list.
JT: we need to be careful on the mailing list about overwhelming with huge messages.
JR: This may be well suited to F2F meetings.
CMN: Agreed.
JT: JR will be the acting staff contact for 3 months.
JT: Next meeting in 2 weeks.
