RE: Minutes for AUWG Teleconference (10 May 2004)

The WCAG Techniques Task Force is also working on presentation/linking 
issues for their
techniques (how success criteria relates to one or more techniques, and 
inversely, how a specific technique could map to one or more success 
criteria).   Sounds like there may be some overlap.  Is it worthwhile to 
coordinate the approaches of the two groups?

Thanks, Tim Boland NIST
