Agree with below. One thing to keep in mind is the Tips for Evaluating that is supposed to be done in August. Draft is here: https://w3c.github.io/wai-quick-start/evaluating.html ~Shawn On 8/2/2017 5:11 AM, Shadi Abou-Zahra wrote: > [adding public EO archive for future reference] > > Hi Vivienne, > > Thanks for reaching out, I look forward to working with you on this! > > There are three separate documents in this package, and so I think we should first decide what we want to do with each: > > # Template for Accessibility Evaluation Reports > > In my view, people often want to see a template - either so they know what they should provide (eg. a webmaster being asked to evaluate the website) or what they should expect (eg. when contracting someone). > > This should be fairly easy to do, and I had already started working on it with Howard.

I think we need go back to the drawing board and revise the objectives, use cases, and key messages from new.

Meanwhile I think there is hardly any need for this document. Some of the key messages, like "evaluation during the development process" and "ongoing monitoring" are addressed by "Planning and Managing".
