Greetings,

I've been away for a while (and it looks like we won't have Rich, 
Cheiko, or Hiro this time around), but perhaps we might get together and 
move a few things forward as best we can.

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office-accessibility/email/archives/200705/msg00013.html

2) Status of Mac's review of the ODF 1.1 Accessibility Guidelines?  
[Mike Paciello?]

3) Rich's Initial review of changes to ODF 1.2 
(http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office/download.php/23991/OpenDocument-v1.2-draft3.odt)

3.1.13 <meta:auto_reload>and 3.1.13 <meta:ReloadDelay> Need to modify 
developer guidelines to ensure acceptable reload times (don't want to 
cause a seizure) to provide author guidance in line with WCAG 2. We need 
to define what an acceptable reload delay is.

3.1.14 <meta:hyperlink-behaviour> Needs to specify what happens when a 
hyperlink is activated. we should say something about point of regard in 
our developer guidelines

3.2/3/3 User Defined/Custom meta data - need to see what will do with 
this. we could reuse user-defined meta data to store added semantics 
such as for business presentations.

4.6 Do we need to do more with Change Tracking?

8.2.4 Header Rows - the author of this section asks if this text is 
acceptable for the use of row headers (Rich says yes)
To facilitate accessibility the element must be used to encapsulate row 
headers. Accessibility is diminished by the use of styles to designate 
row headers.

8.2.6 Subtables - Subtables must be deprecated. Tables alters the 
row/column references such that users who are blind get disoriented 
within the table. Note: Rich did send an email to Rob Weir regarding 
deprecating Subtables.

4) MathML - Do we need to do more with MathML?

5) Kurzweil Action Item - Mike, do we have a technical contact?

7) Request to the group: review TEITAC draft for accessible content as 
it pertains to ODF 1.2
