SC #23, criticism: already ongoing work

Hi All,

This memo is about the Accessible Authentication SC # 23<https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/23>.

Criticism: There is already current, ongoing work specifically about accessible authentication. (See references below.)

Should we:

  1.  contribute to those efforts rather than submit our own SC; OR
  2.  include info, from those efforts, into a SC revision we (I) submit?
