Re: [External] : Re: AGENDA and Surveys - AGWG Meeting May 16th 2023

Hi folks,

The original email of the thread was this one:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2023AprJun/0145.html

The agenda *is* the links to the survey.

In 95% of meetings[1] we are reviewing one or more surveys. Could you take the term “Agenda” as a trigger for checking the surveys contained in it?

The alternative is duplication and more emails.

Hi Lori,

1) those of us with low vision frequently need to increase the size of the text to the degree that many things are commonly truncated.

2) this particular thread has the subject "agenda and surveys", and yet there are no surveys anywhere that I can find anywhere in this thread.

3) what I was trying to say is it would be helpful if there was a separate email that had the word SURVEY as the first word in the subject, and had nothing in it but links to the surveys.

I wasn't aware that subjects were getting truncated, in that case, I agree with Andrew.

I agree with Andrew. If there’s a survey, it would help me if the subject line starts with SURVEYs. In my Outlook email app subject lines are truncated and I often don’t see more than the first few letters, especially for [EXT] email.

Hi Andrew,

The email that is sent has the following Subject: AGENDA and Surveys. In it are links to the surveys, which in turn have the PR numbers with links. Here's the last email from Chuck to the group:  AGENDA and Surveys - AGWG Meeting May 16th 2023.

Are you not getting these emails?

Just to comment on one thing:

> … but relatively few people filling in surveys…..

I don’t know about others, but I am frequently not receiving notices of surveys.

It would be most helpful if:

1) each survey had an email specific to there being that survey, and the survey notice was not just buried in some other email.

2) the first word of the subject line was “SURVEY: …”



Thank you,

Andy
