What would you say to:


the Research Questions (RQ) Task Force identifies accessibility barriers and knowledge gaps in emerging and future web technologies, publishes research findings to assist in ameliorating those gaps and barriers, and supports APA horizontal review activities

I?m open to minor edits for clarity, but I really want to push back on whoever redrafted it, especially in view of the unanimous agreement it received within the Task Force, indeed, without any need for discussion.

One could easily read this description as asserting that the Task Force only identifies the problems and doesn?t try to offer any guidance or solutions. This may not be the intended interpretation, but that?s how the text reads.
