Eric suggested the following and I have added my comments * Target Audience: A01: All organization evaluating one or more websites Comment: The initial "All" is not required. Individuals can also evaluate- they don't need to be part of an organisation, so long as they have the knowledge and tools. It is accessibility evaluation as promoted by WCAG. So I would prefer #A01 Organisations or individuals undertaking website accessibility evaluation for conformance with WCAG. A02: Web accessibility benchmarking organizations Comment: Benchmarking requires verifiable and consistent results, so this is a good group to include to help keep us on track A03: Web content producers wishing to evaluate their content Comment: This is particularly relevant to large organisations such as government websites where individual departments provide content updates etc. into templates using a company wide CMS. However these people are not normally HTML experts so we need to devise a system that gives them the information they need at an appropriate level whilst not boring the pants off accessibility experts! A04: Developers of Evaluation and Repair Tools Comment: Tool developers might/should be interested, and find the procedures useful, but they should not be a target audience as their needs are different and to cover these is outside of our scope. I would prefer to drop this group. A05: Policy makers and Web site owners wishing to evaluate websites Comment: Policy makers and website owners may require the results of the procedure, but they are not (normally) technical people so I would prefer not to include them as a target audience. However website developers (those who actually build the sites) are technical and should be able to use the procedure. So I would prefer #A05 Website developers who wish to evaluate their sites pre and post production The person(s) using the Methodology should be knowledgeable of the Guidelines and people with disabilities. Comment: Agreed. Richard
