RE: EOWG: Agenda for 20 April 2007 Teleconference

Like Alan, I thought it was generally clears, but have some specific
questions and suggestions.

"A"s - the continuation of "A", "AA" and "AAA" will be confusing for
developers, and doubly confusing for people looking at conformance
claims as they bear no relationship to the samoe claims from WCAG 1.0.
Can WAI come up with another set of lables?

Levels - why has this term been used if they are not relative? Can a
another term be used? "Group", "Set", etc that doesn't imply a
hierarchy?

The sentence " When people who understand how people with different
types of disabilities use the Web test the same content using the same
success criteria, the same results should be obtained with a high level
of confidence" seems cumbersome. Too many uses of "people" and "same".
Afraid I don't have an immediate re-write to suggest.

"It is also not necessary to meet a success criterion using one of the
sufficient techniques. There may be other techniques which are not
documented by the working group that would also meet the success
criterion"
might be better reversed as
"As there may be additional techniques to meet the success criteria, it
is not necessary to use one of the 'sufficient' criteria."

The sentence "When using such externally-provided techniques to meet
WCAG 2.0 requirements, it is important that they be created by
individuals or organizations who are knowledgeable about the
requirements of WCAG 2.0 and the needs of people with disabilities"
possibly needs to finish with " and the behaviour of assistive
technologies "

Subject: EOWG: Agenda for 20 April 2007 Teleconference
Importance: High


Dear EOWG Participants:

An agenda and calling logistics for our 20 April 2007 teleconference
follow.

Time:    8:30am - 10:30am U.S. Eastern Time. For other time zones see:
                 http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html
Bridge:  +1.617.761.6200, code: EOWG# (3694#)
IRC:     Channel: #eo, server: irc.w3.org, port: 6665
Scribe:  see http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/2003/scribes.html

Agenda:

1. WCAG 2.0 Conformance section, Editor's Draft
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/#conformance
Please look through this section of the editor's draft of the upcoming
WCAG
2.0 Working Draft. We're looking for input into some copyediting on
different sections of the document, and particularly want to discuss the
following during the EOWG meeting:
- After reading this section, do you understand how conformance to WCAG
2.0
works?
- Is there any information in the conformance section that could be
moved
elsewhere?
- Could it be simplified and/or shortened, and if so, how?

2. Upcoming ATAG 2.0 Drafts
- Opportunities to synchronize release of ATAG 2.0 drafts with WCAG 2.0
drafts
- Brainstorming ideas for messaging the ATAG 2.0 publications, including
if
jointly w/ WCAG 2.0?
- Would co-release strengthen message, or dilute/confuse message?

Regards,
~ Shawn & Judy

IRC reminders and tips:
- IRC is supplemental to the call. Some participants do not have IRC.
All
substantive comments should be said verbally in the call (not just in
IRC).
- to type a side comment that will _not_ get recorded in the minutes,
type
/me comment - e.g.:
/me hopes everyone had pleasant holidays
will come out:
*shawn hopes everyone had pleasant holidays
