6. Administrative Reports (LaPlant, Urban, Roeder)
Urban reported on the progress to set meeting at CSUN. V2will get a
meeting time for the last 2 days of the conference. V2 members
attending will meet as an ad hoc committee of the whole. LaPlant said
he might be able to attend.
Roeder reported on updates to the V2
website, which includes a standard NCITS Technical Committee format with a
link to a V2 working site. The working site has the plenary meeting
announcement with a link to the NIST site for meeting directions and
registration, plus a link to the document register in the password
protected area. The public site has a list of member organizations,
and the private site has a similar list but with delegate names and contact
information.
Gilman suggested V2 integrates the
website with document management and added that V2 need to find a
replacement for kelsey Rideout who had volunteered to provide web design
support.
LaPlant suggested V2 could have an alternate
(non-NCITS) site with more open access for non members.
LaPlant reported that the
call for volunteers for the Chair of V2 is closed. Because
there was only 1
volunteer (LaPlant), NCITS must now vote on the appointment. LaPlant
is still the acting chair.
As soon as the NCITS vote is over, there will
be call for Vice Chair, Secretary, Vocabulary Reporter, and International
Representative.
NEW ACTION ITEM: LaPlant will check NCITS
rules on which TC officers are appointed and which are elected. [P3/6.]
7. Review of Related Activities
7.1 Access Board Proposed Electronic and Information Technology
Accessibility Standards (ref: "Final 508 standards
issued" (
Vanderheiden reported on his presentations at
the Access Technology Industry Association (ATIA) conference.
Wakefield's session on 508 was scheduled at the same time and not many
Access Technology vendors were at Vanderheiden's talk. The main
purpose, to communicate with Access Technology vendors, was not
served. Vanderheiden suggested V2 needs good descriptions put on the
web, printed and mail to Access Technology vendors. The descriptions
should use diagrams and a few key phrases. The time to do this is
about 3 months hence when V2 is further along.
LaPlant added that the GSA consensus activity
will be underway by then, which may support access technology people in
participation with V2.
Gilman suggested that the CSUN conference is a
good time to get access technology vendors interested. Others added
that resna, SIG-CHi and the Microsoft advisory committee gatherings would
also be opportunities.
NEW ACTION ITEM: Urban will nail down room
number at CSUN, put together announcement package for review by next
Management ad hoc conference call. [P3/7.1]
NEW ACTION ITEM: Roeder will get from Urban
electronic version of Vanderheiden presentation and attach to minutes.
[P3/7.1]
Laskowski recommended putting the
Vanderheiden presentation up on the V2 working website, but added that the
graphics need to be fully describe in text. Vanderheiden said he
could use his notes on the first version of the slide presentation.
LaPlant reported on section 508 consensus
development and testing profiles. The universal access working
group(UAWG) sets the agenda for implementation. He said there are a
number of possible activities for ERIM
and that there is a fast track for proof of
concept. The aim is to develop methodologies and performance based
metrics for pre-testing products. The planned kick off meeting at
NIST is delayed to April.
NEW ACTION ITEM: Gummadi will post to work def
the announcement that went to the Universal Access Working Group (UAWG) on
the planned kick off meeting of the ADIT project, which will be at NIST in
April. [P3/7.1]
Roeder asked about the "micro
purchase" exception if the proposed FAR regulations. LaPlant
remarked that some agencies are not happy with the exception, which is a 2
year exclusion from 508 standards for purchases under $2,500. He
added that split purchases are not allowed. The "micro
purchase" exception is not covered in the law and thus offers no
protection from suits.
(see 39.X04(a) of the proposed FAR changes)
Peet said her colleague at MITRE will do a
report on accessibility.
LaPlant said a federal XML working group will
use XML for tagging. As we look at how information on Access
Technology is shared, a registry or a tagging method might be a way to do
this. Registries were studied in the group that preceded V2 and it
is important
for V2 members to become knowledgeable of ITA-SG archived documents.
The European Union (EU) wants a policy on the
formats of international standards, reports, official documents, etc. that
give consideration to aging and disabled populations. this is another
framework on what categories need to be considered and LaPlant referenced
the draft ANSI ISO/IEC handbook 71. LaPlant asked Roeder to
attach to the minutes the message on the status of the handbook, which is
in PDF format. (Ref: V2/01-0005 "Report of
January 2001 meeting on ISO/ IEC Guide 71")
7.2 Web Accessibility Initiative (ref: "Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Home Page")
Gilman said the WAI made a motion to form a device independent activity
targeted to voice interaction, smaller devices, etc. He noted that it
is important to get a WAI liaison.
7.3 IEEE P2001 Web Engineering Best Practices Guidelines (ref: "Internet Practices
Standards Working Group")
LaPlant provided pointer to the current draft IEEE best practices which is
a standing document so keep checking that URL.
This group have agreed to work informally with V2 on an accessibility specific document, either under IEEE or V2.
Meiers submitted a document containing
extracts of all the places in the current draft of IEEE STANDARD 2001 that
address accessibility. (Ref:
|
V2/01-0004 "Accessibility References in Draft IEEE Standard 2001 Revision dated November 2000") |
He noted that IEEE has a default 5 year review
cycle.
7.4 Other
No other reports offered.
8. Presentations
8.1 ad hoc Group Reports
8.1.1 ad hoc A
Zimmermann reported that ad hoc A held a phone
meeting, not a net meeting, and there was not a consensus on
architecture. They discussed a 4 part architecture and focused on RC
(remote console/accessor). They looked at the underlying protocol,
leaning toward XML as a basis.
Zimmermann proposed a road map for a prototype
wireless RC.
The objectives are:
- iterative development of RC standard
- determine if AIAP may have separate
standard or one broad standard
- begin as a prototype test bed, use
later as a reference
The iteration is a cycle of 6 processes:
1. requirements analysis,
2. prototype implementation,
3. prototype evaluation,
4. integration of results into standards,
5. integration into overall standard of V2,
6. loop iteratively.
Some assumptions noted are:
- build on existing standards,
- PCIP underlying protocol,
- server/client architecture,
- does not imply html standard,
- XML based language,
- While it was noted that web servers
can exist on a chip, use of such a chip is not assume.
Some milestones proposed are:
stage 1. setting up architecture (simple, not
complex; target device an IP server)
phase 2, move to wireless (Bluetooth; laptop
simulating target device; hand held for accessor)
stage 3: target, plus 2 proxies (JINI or UPNP)
stage 4: xform integration
Some benefits noted are:
- separation of data model from
presentation, better for braille display,
- contains a card concepts from mobil
technology experience,
- allows multiple formats.
Zimmermann said this would need someone with
JINI or UPNP coding ability.
Vanderheiden said this proposal is an attempt
to capture what has been said, to try to make AIAP technology independent
and have more than 1 platform. He pointed out that there is legacy
equipment already out there and it is easier to use layers that are already
around.
Gilman spoke about X-form, which encodes
dialog on the form, then client only needs to render it. This is all
exploratory and still have problems with the broad mix and match between
users and targets.
8.1.2 ad hoc B
No report- covered in action items.
8.1.3 ad hoc C
No report- covered in action items.
8.2 Presentation on JAVA/JINI.
Peter Korn gave a presentation on a JAVA/JINI approach to user interface
(UI) services. some highlights included:
- allows devices without knowledge of each other to discover and
connect,
- very scalable,
- works with uni-cast and multi-cast
discovery,
- can run on RMI or PCPIP but not
required,
- the target is a service, which can be
hardware or software,
- target can be client to another
target,
- a look up directory service is
required in the loop.
The look up service gives a lease (keeps net
traffic low; if lease expires, the service is dropped from the net).
An accessor looks up a service, downloads JAVA code, then runs the JAVA
code in a secure context. The accessor then communicates directly to
the service.
The service knows the UI architecture.
this can work over any network used by the service and the accessor.
The accessor could have a private connection to a surrogate.
A portions of a Real Player demo (Ref: "Global
Explorer Press Conference"), was shown to illustrate how this
works. In this demonstration, the devices spoke LonWork.
The JINI service could download an XML
surrogate. an advantage is that it is easily updated for new devices.
An accessor needs JINI for walking along
discovery, triangulation. Korn remarked that Zucotto Wireless, Inc.,
(Ref: "Zucotto Wireless, Inc.")
"ducotto.com makes an "Xpresso" (TM) chip set implementing
JAVA and Bluetooth. This could be in a dongle on a serial port to
handle legacy products. The dongle is then a surrogate server.
Note, proxy means proxy to the server or
target device; surrogate means surrogate to the client or accessor device.
Korn said an AIAP standard need to pick the
"wire"; such as, AIAP on Bluetooth or 802.11. He added that
the method of discovery needs to be standardized too. Vanderheiden
said this may be a labeling issue; e.g.,
"AIAP-Bluetooth". LaPlant said these will be the first 2
items of the open issues list.
8.3 Presentation on Universal Plug and Play
Ghazi introduced Brenden, McKean and Mike
Freedmman of the Microsoft Accessibility Group for the Microsoft
presentation on Universal Plug And Play (UPNP).
Some highlights of the presentation included:
- UPNP runs on XML protocol,
- designed for major and small
appliances,
based on notions of control or monitor points,
of a bridge, and of defined services.
A device is viewed as a physical or logical
container that provide services. The service is the functional part
of the device. Inputs to service include state variables and
actions. UPNP is not wedded to windows- could be used on other OS.
Limitations include:
1. intended for device to device communication
and is not human friendly,
2. user still needs to know how to use the
target device,
3. uses state variables, no hierarchy,
4. does not address user interface, is a
control protocol,
5. fixed number of state functions, not clear
how it could work with ATMs
LaPlant said members can use work-def for
follow up questions about UPNP.
Later the Microsoft team began a presentation
on "Canonical UI". Details of this subject were deferred
until a question of IPR is resolved.
NEW ACTION ITEM: Ghazi, Kaneko will Send slide
show of February 7 presentation to v2 members. Will advise V2 in
writing if canonical user interface work will be contributed to open
standard; Kaneko will send document to Ghazi, who can decide and forward to
V2.
Urban will Follow up with Ghazi on canonical user interface release
document.
Urban will Coordinate with Ghazi on Microsoft hosting April 6 working ad
hoc meeting in Redland, WA. [P3/8.3]
9. Discussion of tasks and priorities
9.1 plenary discussion of ad hoc A, B and C.
Urban led a plenary discussion on the proposal
for a prototype wireless RC.
The purpose of a prototype is to explore and
develop options for the AIAP standard. A prototype will also help
communicate what V2 is doing and recruit participants. the group discussed
what agreements were necessary and made several formal motions about the
process that will be followed. Formal votes will be taken on core
assumptions. An informal agreement process will be used for
details.
Vanderheiden made the following motion:
That all technical information, not required
to be public, that is published
regarding standard(s) that V2 is developing will be based on formal votes.
LaPlant seconded the motion which passed by simple majority
Vanderheiden then made a motion to create a
set of core assumptions, including the scope over which they apply, which
we agree to by formal vote, and such core assumptions shall be
made public.
Peet seconded the motion. Following discussion
the motion carried by simple majority.
The following motion was made by Laskowski and
seconded by Chapman
To agree to use experimental prototypes as a way to explore the development
of V2 standard(s).
this motion passed by unanimous consent.
Vanderheiden then motioned:
That other procedural matters be handled by the management ad-hoc
committee, who will post any policy or procedure recommendations to the
Work-Def reflector for a 14 öday review period, with ãNEW POLICYä in
the subject line, after which they are considered to be adopted by consent
in the absence of posted objections. Objections shall contain ãOBJECTIONä
or
ãCONCERNä in the subject line of the message. This motion shall appear
in all new policy e-mails
the motion was seconded by Chapman and was
passed by unanimous consent.
A discussion took place about establishing new
standing documents for
1 action items
2 open issues
3 research opportunities
These lists will be set up in standing
documents and will have pointers to them in the minutes and agenda.
As they are completed, items will be dropped off of the standing
documents. The open issues document will have 3 categories: 1 things
decided, 2 things not decided and 3 things that will not be decided.
Vanderheiden suggested the placement of any information on the V2 public
web site should be decided by formal vote or by NCITS standard.
Meiers recommended formal votes only on technical information, but not for
administrative information. LaPlant said that the open issues
document, the research opportunities document, and not the action items
document, should be on the public area of the V2 web site. There was agreement that the
secretary will maintain a list of : open issues, action items, &
research opportunities as V2 standing document. The management Ad-Hoc is
tasked with determining the degree of public access to this information.
9.2 Working Sessions
There were further discussions on the
prototype. the following document was begun and will be continued on
the TWiki site..
