Survey

    Understandable by anyone because we want as broad an input as
    we can.

    Vitally important to get feedback from people who are more
    peripherally involved in standards work.

    People may want to give input on roadblocks or common issues on
    the web.

    We need to develop lists of people we want to reach out to,
    like organizations of people with disabilities.

    We may need separate surveys.

    Some organizations have more focus on digital accessible than
    others.

    Reach out beyond the usual disability organizations -- find the
    disabilities that WCAG has not served well in the past.

    scribe: CP organizations for wheelchair groups
    ... Low vision
    ... Speech input
    ... Talk to Cognitive Accessibility Task force for
    recommendations of groups to talk to.

    Create list of organizations to talk to and share with WCAG WG.

    Shawn: People who are in organizations may not know WCAG or the
    technologies in detail. From that we can extrapolate more of
    what we should cover.

    AWK: Low Vision TF did a lot of this, and developed a user
    needs document. I would frame the discussion around developing
    a User Needs document. This will help document and justify more
    of the requirements. Authoritative.
    ... There are user needs for different groups, and I think we
    should contact major groups as well. I would be surprised if we
    learned a lot from blind and hearing impairment organizations
    that we don't already know. I think we have the traditional
    organizations well, but just because I think we do doesn't mean
    that we do.
    ... I am most concerned about implementation requirements. I
    hear things from the TF that won't fit in 2.1 -- If we need to
    address everything for every possible user. That would be very
    hard. It may be what we want to target. There are people
    implementing it, that there is resistance to all they have to
    require. We may be able to require more if we make conformance
    simpler.

    Shawn: Web content developers, content creators, and
    accessibility professionals are also people we want to reach
    with the survey
    ... as much of a breadth of input that we can get. Also legal
    experts, implementers who know WCAG - where they stop and why
    -- and the people who are affected by all of this.
    ... that's why we want multiple surveys, both for vocabulary
    and perspective.

    Next call is Friday 9:30-11:00
