KF: I'm still waiting for JB to make me offical... ... JA is asking me to be more active in running meetings Consensus on alt http://esw.w3.org/topic/PF/XTech/HTML5/TextAlternativeProposal JS: I have extended the attendance survey KF: We started on the alt concensus - overall WAI feedback to HTML5 ... What feedback do we have? SHould figure it out today ... Any thoughts JS: I like what you were saying Kelly about it being too complicated ... I've been asking people about that MH: Question...has this doc been sent to HTML5 yet? KF: My understanding...it has not been sent yet ... WAI-CG asking for WAI feedback first JR: KF is correct KF: So do we think we can stand behind this? JR: Not perfect but I can stand behind it MH: bottom line? JR,JS: Some form of alt is required JR: But still may not meet HTML5's hope for validity without alt MH: Bug me: absence of something is said to be indicator of the image ... I'd like to see role required to resoundingly say image is an image <jeanne> JR: It was a difficult discussion because some said that whatever we did had to be backwards compatible. If we made "role" required, it would break every image on the Web. MH: Understood <jeanne> JR: The absence of a value for alt was the crux of the problem, that there wasn't a way to show whether it was missing from being ignored or whether it was a decorative image KF: My perspective...assuming a lot of intelligent people...but I'm not comfortable ... IN HTML4 I know what I have to do ... For accessibility ... I would be ok with 1) use alt="meaningful" and 2) use role="presentation" along with alt="" MH: I'd support that KF: clarify 2) is a warning <jeanne> JR: alt is still required, and if alt="" then also use role = "presentation" <jeanne> JR: alt="" cannot have two means - 1) I want validity and don't care about accessibility OR 2) I care about accessibiliy and this image is decorative. <jeanne> KF: I have a concern that role="presentation" may be removed from the DOM and lost. KF: There is concern with role=presentation ... We could take this up later <jeanne> KF: We can take that up as part of ARIA last call discussion. JR: Points out the need for repetitive alt if author wants to use labelled-by KF: That's my concern...going to aria forces users to have latest and greatest JA: Process for commenting? JR: Indiv or group. JA: Suggestions wanted? JR: Yes JA: Ofk so could we vote on UA proposals next week KF: Two actions 1) communicate to CG - we do not have concensus, we will be looking at alternatives ... One alternative could be not concensus form UAAG ... We owe them a mail before wed. that KF will do <KFord> ACTION: kford communicate current alt opinion to CG.

HTML5 itslef...bits and pieces in all browsers CSUN Discussion KF: Most of JA's thoughts in post JA: Henny wanted to know where slides are? JS: I could send PDF to group then figure out how to post JA: Thought presentation went well ... Tough week for me, but went well - got thoughts across ... Heard some people say "onerous"...but not constructive... ... But maybe we can have another drfat out by end of May KF: Anyone we should target for recruitment? JS: I had a lot of followup ... Mentions Microsoft, Mozilla, NVDA, Apple ... Also spoke with someone who was on TEITAC JA: I got some other contacts KF: Anything we can do to recruit them would be great. Survey Results http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/36791/20090223/ KF: Let's leave survey to next week Web security last call http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-wsc-ui-20090226/ KF: Jim sent some thoughts. JA: I just thought there were a bunch of concepts we could use..."primary, secondary interfaces"... ... Couple things to communicate to web security people...they should reference UAAG as well as just WCAG ... Other than that, just some definitional concerns ... One was level of alerts ... e.g., Caution alrets, danger alerts....how to communicate these KF: Sounds good JA: I think we can use this to make our GL better and give them some stuff too Current editors draft actions and comments http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA/2009/UAAG20-20090121-ED/ KF: THing to note is that we did release a draft...any feedback yet?
