Issue Resolution Report and Request for Challenges FPWD

Colleagues:

Those of us working on the Challenges document believe we've addressed all of
the various issues raised in github and across our several teleconferences
over the past weeks. This email is asking for your help in making sure we've
really done that.

Below is a summary of the various github issues grouped by status. A brief
disposition for each issue is included. To check text in the very latest, most
up to date draft, please look at our up to the minute Working Draft here:

https://raw.githack.com/w3c/wcag/conformance-challenges-working-draft/conformance-challenges/

We expect all these latest updates, plus a bit more will be in the Editor's Draft by the time
of the AG teleconference Tuesday.

Unless significant remaining issues are identified, we are expecting to
request an AGWG survey at that time on publishing a First Public Working Draft
(FPWD) in order to solicit comments and reactions from our friends and
colleagues in the wider web world.

=======================================================================
Challenges with Accessibility Guidelines Conformance and Testing
Issue Status as of Saturday 7 December

=======================================================================
Summary

11 github issues remain open as of this moment. All issues itemized below are
grouped by the following categories:

7 of these are marked for "triage," meaning we need additional discussion and
most especially feedback from a public review. These are the issues we will
ask the public to respond to, but if we should write more than we have now
before publishing, we very much need your specific suggested additional text.

4 issues are marked as requiring resolution before FPWD publication. Three will
be finished by Tuesday; the other later in the week as noted below.

6 issues itemized here are closed meaning we believe we've addressed the
issue in the latest draft. If you believe we should not have closed these,
please help by providing the additional text that would better address your
concerns.
              NOTE: More issues were closed when their contents were merged into
              other issues.
