Comment (Including rationale for any proposed change):
Refer to the term ‘full multimedia text alternative including any interaction ’ :

The term needs to be re-worded to be more meaningful and correct. Consider:

‘text alternative for multimedia ‘

Or 

 ‘text alternative for interactive multimedia ‘





SORRY: I submitted this yesterday (June 14) but used the word \'equivalents\' instead of \'alternative\' as I really intended

Proposed Change:
Refer to the term ‘full multimedia text alternative including any interaction ’ :

The term needs to be re-worded to be more meaningful and correct. Consider:

‘text alternative for multimedia ‘

Or 

 ‘text alternative for interactive multimedia ‘



Its description in the glossary  should be

‘document including correctly sequenced descriptions of all visual settings, actions, and non-speech sounds combined with descriptive transcripts of all dialogue. This also applies to multimedia-based interactions, if any, with the user.‘
