2) Announcements 

     Regular UA telecon scheduled 20 January 2000 at 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm
     Eastern Standard Time, USA 
     http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/2000/01/wai-ua-telecon-20000120.html 

3) Discussion 

   1.Candidate Recommendation planning update 

   IJ: Once we get the issues resolved (tomorrow),
       the WG needs to say "We want to go to CR".

     - Aim for 24th for CR.
     - Aim to resolve all issues (and document objections)
       by tomorrow.
     - Update materials for Friday.

   Action DB: Schedule time with IE team for next tuesday when
       CMN will be in Seattle to review the CR if ready.

   KB: What if all developers say "We don't expect to satisfy
       these 5 or they shouldn't be on the list?"

   IJ: Valuable information that should be considered by the WG.

   2.Face to face planning update 

     JG: We have an invitation from RFBD (Princeton, NJ). 
         PWWorks may be "co-host".

     No objections to general location (east coast).

   3.Updated working draft of the guidelines and techniques published on
15
     January 

     IJ:
       - new short names
       - some new text in there awaiting WG approval.

  13.WD#186: Proposed removal of Note in 2.1
     http://cmos-eng.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear.html#186 

     HB: I think "concurrent" is better than "simultaneous".

     Resolved: Approved.

     Action IJ: Make change for 2.1 note.

  14.WD#187: Proposed change in wording to 1.6 (profiles) 
     http://cmos-eng.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear.html#187 
  
     IJ: Note the change - no longer required only on systems
         with multiple users.

     HB: Reword to be "through a profile".

     Resolved: Approved.

     Action IJ: Make change with clarification.

  16.WD#189: Proposed change to checkpoint 2.3 (missing alt info) 
     http://cmos-eng.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear.html#189 

     KB: Required by "whom"?
     
     IJ: The markup language definition, not WCAG.

     Resolved: Approved.
    
     Action IJ: Make change wtih clarification.

   4.WD#185: clarification of "single key" access 
     http://cmos-eng.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear.html#185 

     Refer to DB's proposal:
     http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2000JanMar/0099.html

     DB: Sticky keys on means that you accomplish something with
         single keys in sequence.

     JB: I think we want to highlight that you want really single
         key, direct access (e.g., "F4" and that's it). I think
         people want to highlight the ability to do this, but
         not make it an absolute requirement.

     DB: I don't think you'll get developers to add single-key
         when sticky keys and sequences exist.

     DP: I think the objective is to perform a single action with
         a single key.

     KB: In IE, you can get to most of the functions, but can be
         very inefficient for some users. The goal (according to
         Bryan Campbell) is to let users configure a small number
         of single key bindings for important actions. Sequences
         ok for the rest.

     DB: I think that this is less important than other accessibility
         features. I can, with sticky keys today, do some things
         faster than some users with a mouse.

     JG: Refer to Alan Cantor's email about keyboard efficiency
         as well.
        
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2000JanMar/0098.html

     Consensus:   
        We don't expect all functionalities to be bound to single
        keys at the same time.

     IJ: Also, I think there are some contexts where you are
         inherently doing N things (e.g., the print control panel).
         I only mean "things that only require one step".

     DP: Save input configurations in the user's profile.

     JG: Note that this is possible in Word. We're asking for the
         functionality in user agents.

     GR: Note that Opera is a user agent that recognizes different
         modes, so that in form edit mode, single key strokes aren't
         available to the user.

     IJ: noted - there may be modes in which some single keys
         are not available (e.g., "p" should not be available
         in editing mode).

     Proposed:
        - Split 10.3 into two. Make single-key a special case of old
          10.3.

     Action Ian: Propose split to list. Priority 2 for new checkpoint.
                 Incorporate these pieces:
                    - Not all at once
                    - Some keys not available at certain times.
                    - Intended for one-step operations.

   5.LC#142: Checkpoint 1.5 (output device-independence) needs
clarification. 
     http://cmos-eng.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear.html#142 

     Refer to proposal from DP:
     http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ua/2000JanMar/0122.html

     DP: Goal of not having my input be sent to the wrong window.
     GR: I would like to talk to RS face-to-face about some of the
         focus issues.
     JG: I have problems with "all output device APIs". Which ones?
         The printer?

     JG: I think the goal is that messages are rendered through
         system controls.

     IJ: I think the actual requirement is device-independent access
         to information. System controls are the best way to do this
         since ATs can monitor them.

     IJ: I think 1.5 may be covered by 5.2, 9.1, and 5.6. However,
         1.5 is P1.
 
     JG: Problem of support for beeps: is morse code necessary?
   
     DP: Refer to 9 December minutes as well.

     Proposed:

       - Modify 9.1 to include controls
       - Add checkpoint to G4 to includes messages. In techniques
         talk about different priorities of messages.
       - Modify 1.5 about mode-independence of messages.
         (Don't just use sound or animations).

    Action IJ: Propose changes to the list.
