Coordinating Communication

    group reviews how we communicate and how we will document
    publicly the activities of the group.

    scribe: brainstorming and creative work will be done in google
    docs
    ... agenda and minutes will be published to the WCAG WG
    ... this is the last call in Skype. Next week we will be
    meeting on WebEx.

Timelines
   
Jeanne: I haven't spoken with Andrew yet
    ... what I expect is that we should send the proposals to the
    WCAG WG before TPAC to allow discussion on the mailing list
    ... Joshue previously said that Silver would be on the agenda
    at TPAC, so we should plan on presenting and discussing there.

Project goals

    Shawn: Reviews email from AWK

    Silver sub group should consider possible update models for
    sIlver (3.0, 3.1, etc)

    Silver sub group should collect and consider possible models
    for combining WCAG/UAAG/ATAG under one banner

    Silver sub group should develop plan to gather feedback on
    needs for Silver from users/authors/user agent vendors/industry

    Shawn: Goal: Feedback channels should be timely, continuous,
    checked afterwards, and be diverse
    ... the content of Silver itself should include feedback from
    the feedback channels
    ... Silver should look at the structure and process of other
    applicable standards
    ... in my experience, the W3C process may be public, but it is
    such a wall of information, it is prohibitively expensive to
    learn what is really going on.
    ... for example, app creaters need to know the information, but
    they typically have no idea what is going on.
    ... we need a predictable and sensible update model
    ... which is why I want to include standards that have been
    around for a while and have predictable models. This is where I
    want to include input from legal and policy professionals.
    ... but has to be understandable by the people who use it.

    Jeanne: This is an important point for me -- I realize that we
    have to serve the legal and policy audience, but they should
    not be primary audience that we serve.

    Sarah: We should consult with experts who have experience with
    developing other accessibility standards, especially people
    with UX experience designing standards.
    ... thinking about the nature of standards and what makes them
    useful.

    Shawn: We should make a list of people that we want to
    interview and include
    ... include standards that do not necessarily include digital
    or electronic media
    ... for example, the NYC standard for retrofitting older
    buildings to meet accessibility standards
    ... look at standards that are easily communicatable across all
    our audiences.
    ... We could have a continuous feedback group, and reach out to
    people who could be in the group.

    Shawn: I want to see us developing a pool of people that we
    want to get feedback and comments from.

    Goal: Informed decision-making drives the Silver process and
    content
    ... include feedback from other channgels
    ... look at other standards - comparative analysis technique
    and do an analysis and use them for moving forward.
    ... we want to talk to people: focus groups, 1-1 interviews,
    surveys to collect insights, observe people using the tools
    (because there is a gap between what people say they want and
    how they actually do it).
    ... Perspectives of people who use WCAG are considered
    ... user centered design, participatory design, design
    thinking. We want to include all of them, but want to focus on
    design thinking.
    ... Think about WCAG over the long term
    ... establishing a viable update channel is part of that .
    ... User community and stakeholders are committed to success
    ... keeping the community informed as to the process

    Sarah: I thinking we should do a project charter -- not a WCAG
    charter, we may need to call it something else. It includes
    goals, stakeholders, audience, and measurements of success.

    <scribe> ACTION: Sarah to draft a Project Charter [recorded in
