RE: Call for Consensus (CFC): Updated Comments on review of a Web Authentication Specification

I just checked the CAPTCHA Note, and we do in fact cite both of them. The remaining question, then, is whether it would be better to cite those sources directly in the comment so that readers don't have to go via the CAPTCHA Note to discover the regulatory/policy implications of the issue - or, at least, we could allude to those implications.
To be clear, I am not necessarily arguing for a change to the comment text here and I can live with it as is.

Thanks, Jason. Gong strictly by memory at the moment ... I believe we reference both U.S. and E.U. regulations to this effect in our CAPTCHA
2019 W3C Note.

Best,

Janina
