Agenda:

* Item 1: Review of submitted technique for Captions:

Survey for revised Caption technique. [1]

You can review the technique here. [2]

* Item 2: Request from PF to discuss and review the
on-screen behavior of tab accessible hidden data.

Here is an extract from PF minutes. [3]
This issue related to author confusion over how CSS can hide data from 
screen readers, such as wanting to visually hide a @longdesc but at the 
same time using CSS display:none actually also hides it from the screen 
reader users as well. Laura Carlson kindly provided us with some 
examples. [4] [5]

HTML5 now has a global @hidden, so we need to discuss this attribute 
it's use cases and potential impact on people with disabilities. [6]

If you have any other items you wish to add to the agenda, please ping 
the list asap.

Thanks

Josh
