>>"Format" and the relationship with WCAG:
>http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2005AprJun/0022.html

JR: EOWG had trouble with definition for format. WCAG uses "technology"
instead of "format". JR discussed ideas (in above link) with Wendy Chisholm
and she seemed to have no problem with this approach. How encompassing the
term "technology" is for WCAG needs to be investigated. 
ACTION: MM talks to Wendy. JR will make note about using this term in ATAG
conditionally for now. Further discussion at f2f.

JT was worried about language in benchmarking section (Action 3 in above
link). We agreed to include this for now and then work on making language
"less complex". Same with Action 4 in above link. Concerns conformance. It
will be included and then cleaned up as we go along. "Limbo" item still in
limbo.

>> ATAG requirements on accessible authoring interfaces
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2005AprJun/0029.html

MM checked how UUAG matched Section 508, JR checked UUAG to ISO16071.
Result was taking UUAG items and putting them into ATAG in "ATAG language". 

BF: Are assistive technologies taken into consideration?
JR: Covered in
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2005AprJun/0037.html today.
[Read from bottom up.]

JR pointed out that the new checkpoints 1 and 2 in new_guideline_1.html in 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2005AprJun/0029.html were
important. "NEW.1 Ensure that Web-based functionality conforms to WCAG
[Priority RP]" Very important. Cannot leverage UUAG if you haven't followed
WCAG.
Then "NEW.2 Ensure that fully rendered views conform to UAAG 1.0. [Priority
1]" Either the tool's own preview mode should conform or the authoring tool
must be able to specify their own agent for the preview function. It's the
actual viewing function that is being emphasized here.
JR: Tried to keep this guideline uncluttered.

>>Other bugs (I will send out the updated table)
(http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-au/2005AprJun/0040.html)

We went through the other bugs and assigned several. 
JT: Bug 1119 for Guideline 3.5 really a WCAG issue and should be sent to
them.

JR: Will work on conformance scheme update.

EOWG lexicon suggestions can be discussed quickly at f2f.

>> F2F planning - please register:

JT: Will probably have conference call soon with Ottawa about their upcoming
policies. Perhaps on Friday at f2f. More news later.
