Re: Article on WCAG 2.1 Regarding Low Vision

Wayne,

I think that is a great idea (to do two articles).

   1. Accessibility Requirements
   2. Dec Release (high level overview of LV SC)

We are currently targeting Dec 5th for the next working draft.  I'm
optimistic we will have a working draft published around that date...we
have to...to stay on schedule.  But be prepared for it to slip a day or two
(or three....)
