Review of action items

1. IN PROCESS: Andi Snow-Weaver will update the cognitive proposal for compatibility with assistive technologies to address Peter Korn’s concerns, but this can not be closed until the API requirements are done. In addition, regulatory language will be added.
2. Allen Hoffman will sync provision 2 with AV group definition by next week.
   • Allen will be in AV meeting this afternoon. There is still some turmoil on the definition. Hopefuly it will be laid to rest today. He is not confident the one they have now is the final.
3. Peter Korn to provide a proposal for explanatory sentence on WCAG 1.3.3
   • 1.3.3 Size, Shape, Location: Instructions provided for understanding and operating content do not rely on shape, size, visual location, or orientation of components.
   • Peter will see what he can do next week.
4. Allen Hoffman will start a discussion on Second Life on the list with introductory information and other info gathered from General.
   • Allen will try to do by next Friday.
   • This is a proprietary technology and is not based on Internet standards. We want to start on it here. It is a lower priority then other things for the next draft. We can at least start a discussion on list.
5. IN PROCESS: Katie Haritos-Shea will write a proposal for tactile and aural user preference settings.
   • Katie started a discussion on the list.

Technical Topics

Merging Web and Software and what is "content"

• Comparison of Web and Software provisions
  • inconsistencies between the 508 proposed Web and software provisions
  • harmonization with ISO and WCAG standards
  • applicability to different kinds of software and content
  • Taking a bottoms up approach on how to merge Web and Software.
    • Concern regarding harmonization with ISO, that only the TEITAC members have access to the ISO standard but not all subcommittee members. As we are only concerned with ISO provisions where we have a corresponding provision. Members who have access to the ISO standard is sufficient.
• Discussion captured on the comparison table page after each table.
