Yes, thanks Katie. I also think this doc is in a really good place for public review.

My own 2 cents is that I think the doc is already pretty clear about keyboard a11y being very important, e.g where it states "However, keyboard accessibility remains as important as ever and [...]" as well as providing tips and best practices for gestures etc. [1] [2] [3]

So as AWK already said, I'm also just not seeing anything substantial that would override the WCAG WG consensus to publish.

As an agenda+ *after* publication of the FPWD - I think Mike Pluke's suggestions based on the EN 301 549 doc (indicating 'Use of accessibility services (on the platform level): List of available
actions: Execution of available actions:) is useful and we should consider this kind of addition *after* we have published/thrown out the net and parsed public feedback.

While I look forward to further discussions for now I trust we can all agree to get this very useful doc out the door.

Thanks

Josh
