Hey John, Many thanks for the feedback. Everything you say should be included in the minutes, this was my point. From the minutes of the meeting, it would appear that only EARL was discussed and Content Labelling wasn't talked about. It's important to record all the key issues and decisions of those issues, even if to say that they're still open. Apologies for the tongue twister :) Regarding the incubator activity, nice to see you've understood it well. Everything you say is true. We plan to come to a final conclusion about the output of the activity by July! The specification was written before we even launched the activity so its like to need minor refinements only. Also, an EU Safer Internet Plus project called Quatro [1], has already created the schema for WAI Single-A, Double-A and Triple-A conformance claims. So, this can be referenced and/or used today. Note that ERCIM is one of the project partners. Regarding the Web Content Label Working Group (WCL WG) [2], WCAG could reference the output, so any 'refinements' made to the specification won't make any difference and won't impact the WCAG document in any way. Does that help?

I'll just jump in here. The Working Group did *not* reach a definitive decision yesterday about referencing either EARL or WCL. The group felt that we did not yet have enough information to reach a sound decision on this important matter. Therefore, we decided to leave the issue open pending further investigation. We welcome additional information about WCL, RDF-CL, etc. I did read the statement about the WCL Incubator Activity that you sent us the other day. If I understood it correctly, the W3C has not yet approved WCL. Again, if I understood the document correctly, the XG's aim is to explore the options for a new content labeling scheme; one of the options under consideration is to consider whether the existing RDF-CL is adequate for the purpose. If my understanding is incorrect, please let me know! To reiterate: the issue remains open. We welcome information that will help us learn more. Thanks so much! "Good design is accessible design."

So, can you please direct me to the section of the minutes that document Segala's request to reference the use of Content Labels for conformance claims? I notice you've included EARL, but I'm unable to find Content Labels. I've CC'd David because he's a member of the ERT group and Jo as he's a member of the WCL group with David.
