Hello COGA task force, *Summary: * Please review https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/1902#issuecomment-907469906 and follow up with your concerns or comments. I will attempt to draft a revised proposal based on your feedback on Tuesday, September 7. *More details on this request:* As discussed in our meeting today <https://www.w3.org/2021/09/02-coga-minutes.html#t02>, we've been trying to find the right response to WCAG 2.2 issue 1902 <https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/1902>, which started around common objects but has become significantly larger, and is now more of an issue of including cognitive function tests in the authentication process. We have engaged in a long process of working with numerous parties on this issue, including: - Abi James and John Rochford worked separately with Alastair to attempt to resolve this. The proposed resolution was rejected by COGA as insufficient. - Alastair and Rachael have been helping us to try to understand the legal and technological constraints that will block consensus. - I personally spent substantial time going over this with colleagues who are working on Google's CAPTCHA 3 and who are are responsible for safety, security and privacy. Ultimately, I attempted this wording, which I'd like for everyone with a stake in this to review and comment on: https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/1902#issuecomment-907469906 There are 2 options presented here. Option 1 likely won't gain consensus but I believe better reflects COGAs perspective. This is firm language that essentially rules out captchas entirely. Option 2 offers a compromise of an AA/AAA split, and I believe that this option would be able to get consensus. This approach has some linguistic elements to clarify, and also still requires Lisa's addition of making it clear that if we go with option 2, an AA / AAA split, we need to add language that emphasizes that some will still be excluded. Thank you, Rain
