Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: scope of the issue papers

+1 to this new addition. I like the clarifying scope. I have made a small editorial suggestion to the sentences (below).

"These modules focus on explaining the issues that lead to diverse user needs impacting web accessibility. For this reason, they may sometimes address a broader scope than web accessibility alone."

Regrets for today's meeting - I am still balancing additional workload but hope to be back to regularly attending soon!

Warmly,

Becca

Hi Focus

there have been a few comments about what the purpose of the issue paper are. Is the any objections toto add something along the lines of the  following sentence to the abstracts and introductions?
"These modules are explorative and focus on explaining the issues leading to the user needs rather than solutions. For these reasons, they may sometimes need a broader scope than Web Accessibility."

it could follow the sentence
"This document is part of a set of modules or papers that describe accessibility issues for users with various disabilities that impact cognitive accessibility. "

and
"These modules are also used as sources for Making Content Usable for People with Cognitive and Learning Disabilities,<https://www.w3.org/TR/coga-usable/> which contains practical advice for developers."
