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

I would like to remind people that primarily participate in AGWG that 
Silver does not use the email list for extended discussions because 
email threads are not accessible to active members with disabilities.

Janina's group is preparing a proposal that will be presented at the 
Silver meeting today, and at the AGWG meeting on 22 June. There is no 
blanket "off the hook" and my understanding of the proposal is that 
improves the responsibility for 3rd party content over what we have today.

I encourage anyone entering this thread to read Janina's response and 
wait for the actual proposal before you object.   We will have meeting 
discussion and survey responses for asynchronous participation.
