Re: Article on WCAG 2.1 Regarding Low Vision

When is the December release scheduled? I am thinking I could do two
articles: One on the  Accessibility Requirements doc and how this motivated
change. The next on the actual Dec Release as it pertains to LV.

What do you think?

This does has to be stated in very non-technical ways. Remember Jon, Steve,
Scott, Eric, Shawn, Marlam, John and I are very atypical. Most will be
ordinary users with no knowledge of accessibility technicalities.

Thanks for your thoughts Glenda.
