I am fine with this text. It's longer than I thought Ivan wanted it to be, but if he thinks it's aan acceptable length I think it's relatively clear while also being explicit about the fact that we will incorporate accessibility requirements in any recommendation-track deliverables,, and the fact that we will be coordinating with other groups. My only issue is the following: "The Digital Publishing Working Group will coordinate with the WCAG Working Group to integrate accessibility requirements created as part of its recommendation-track deliverables into generalized technology." I don't think we should be limiting ourselves to coordinating with WCAG. I would prefer "will coordinate with the WCAG Working Group, as well as any other working groups as needed, to integrate ..."
