I posted the article because it highlighted an issue that is relevant to this group and has already been identified by a previous poster: when does this work of developing standards, tools, designs, guidelines, and protocols turn into a de facto process of developing public policy? the article and the concerns raised are not so much about pics but the process and means used to develop and implement the standard Parts of the WAI seem to have some public policy components. It may be helpful to clarify these areas and identify if the w3c and the wai is the appropriate forum for those things. kelly
