Re: URGENT Request from the Education and Outreach Working Group

Hi Team,

I am sorry to bring this back up again, but the EOWG is really needing our
help with the "Cognitive and learning
<https://w3c.github.io/wai-people-use-web/diversity#cognitive>" section of
How People Use the Web.

Since we were not able to discuss this during our Monday call, please take
some time to review the document and send your comments back to me.  I will
compile them for the EOWG.

Thanks again for helping with this.

​Best to you,​
​
