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".
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..
