Timeline

    SL: We worked backward and forward from TPAC.
    ... 3 proposed processes to discuss with the group there
    ... rank them in the discussion, and talk through any changes
    that the WG wants to make to proposal.
    ... then send out a wider email
    ... Targeting October 31 as a date for a decision on the
    process.
    ... get public comment before Oct 31 so that it could be
    finalized by then.
    ... TPAC is the time to discuss it and reasoning for the
    decisions.
    ... communicate clearly what we are doing and why.
    ... have the 4 weeks time for public comment
    ... on Oct 31 announce the process and the decision and the
    start date.
    ... by Sept 16, to finalize the discussion at TPAC, with a
    strictly time-controlled agenda.
    ... e.g. 10 minutes on each topic, with a very structured
    discussion working toward the selection ofthe process
    ... 9 September, finalize the processes
    ... 2 September. Create the 3rd option and refine it
    ... 26 August, create the 2nd option
    ... this week, create the first option
    ... today, finalize the goals for the process.

Process Options

    [review the project structure and phases with Objectives and
    Methods, that Sarah has been working on.]

    SH: I think we need to look at all the Methods and sort them
    into groups of what belongs together and why.
    ... One option is to group it by cost
    ... how much information do we need to know to make those
    decisions?

    SL: What I need is a concrete list of goals and stack-rank
    them.
    ... with the goals, we can get a better idea of the methods
    that get it there.

    JS: Cost, Time and Resources

    SL: Somethings might only take a day, but it could take 15
    people.

    SH: A value ranking?
    ... a scale of 1-10 with 2 being low, of the value we could
    expect to recieve from each option.

Goals

    Goal 1: Including as many perspectives of stakeholders in the
    process. To be as inclusive as possible with as many
    stakeholders as possible to make sure that Silver is as
    effective as possibleto each of these perspectives.

    scribe: like personas -- bring up as many people as are users
    of WCAG

    Goal 2 to broadly communicate our efforts

    SL: We want communication to be two-ways -- not only that we
    are communicating out, but we are also creating communication
    coming in.
    ... some parts of the process will be constrained where we
    don't want too many cooks in the kitchen, others we will want
    broad communication and handle many opinions.

    Goal 3: Informed decision making drives process. Facts,
    evidence, data drives decisions. As well as feedback from
    communication channels. Any decision about the process is made
    out of facts and evidence instead of

    scribe: "feelings"

    Goal 4: Looking forward and backward in time to Silver, looking
    how Silver and WCAG will be updated and has to speak to how do
    we get there, how do we maintain it over time.

    Goal 5: Serve a broader ranger of disabilitites than just the
    ones known by the working group.

    scribe: Broaden the scope of applicability so Silver is more
    inclusive of disabilites and technologies.
    ... Silver content is more diverse.
    ... the process needs to support that goal.

    Goal 6: User community and stakeholders are committed to
    success

    scribe: we need engaged stakeholders

    Goal 7: Establish clear milestones, so we can track progress
    throughout the effort.

    SL: The inclusive goal needs to also include different
    languages, so that the survey can get input from people in
    other language.
