I will +1 Janina's points about under-promising and over-delivering. I have other serious concerns about the Charter, including an overly aggressive time-line with regards to Silver reaching Recommendation status in 3 years time. Given they've not even started to work on integrating some of the COGA stuff that has been previously discussed, they've simply not allocated enough time in my opinion. Releasing a first-generation "Silver" that is nothing more than a re-formulation of WCAG 2.x, but still not including more for the COGA user-group is not very palatable for me either Lisa.
