Thoughts on third-party conformance; was Re: [Conformance] Agenda for Thursday 10 June

Hey folks,
After mulling it over some more, I wanted to reiterate that I am
uncomfortable with the current proposal, and that I don't think this is
ready to be added to a WCAG 3 draft just yet. As I indicated yesterday
during the call, I think creating a blanket exception for all third-party
content is problematic. Creating transparency about where the inaccessible
content is, and who is responsible for it is a good step in the right
direction. But I don't think doing just those two things absolves an
organisation from their responsibility of ensuring their software
isn't disabling their users.

I would ask that we continue to work on this. I don't think we've fully
explored the options for third-party conformance yet.

Kind regards,
