I suggest, for the moment, that we separate the task of collecting techniques and solutions in this area from the question of what should be required of web sites for purposes of conformance. Thus, taking checkpoint 3.3 as an example, we should first reach agreement on clear, testable success criteria and techniques which we have good grounds for concluding (on the basis of relevant research) are of real and substantial benefit to people. Charles and Lisa have made a start in this direction. Only after we know what the relevant techniques are, should we consider what it would be practical or reasonable to require of all web sites, and how checkpoint 3.3 best fits into whatever conformance scheme is devised for the guidelines Similar comments apply to checkpoint 3.4. As co-chair I would like to postpone discussion of conformance-related issues in respect of checkpoints 3.3 and 3.4, until there is consensus as to what these checkpoints require, what the success criteria should be, and what techniques are available to content authors.
