Thanks for asking, Joe.

Ben did in fact provide an analysis of UAAG as baseline as an attachment
to his message "Some additional thoughts on baseline"  (21 March 2005,
available at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2005JanMar/0636.html#star
t).  I believe this message was a follow up to our sessions on Sunday
morning, which are roughly summarized in Gregg's message "Baseline Notes
on Flipcharts from Meeting" (20 March 2005, available at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2005JanMar/0638.html).Ben
's message, the notes Gregg posted, and a an oral review concerns raised
by the Sunday morning discussion of baseline fed into continued
discussions on Monday, which in turn led to the proposals presented in
Gregg's "Key Results" message of 22 March (available at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2005JanMar/0642.html).

Wendy is working on compiling the minutes of the LA meeting and they
should be available soon (scribing was done by several people, so things
have to be collated and checked before being posted to the GL site).

If you (or anyone else) would like a more detailed description of the
process we followed in coming to our conclusions, such a description can
be provided.
