I really think you need to tighten up the second sentence i.e. "In situations where it is deemed feasible and useful to evaluate all web pages, the sample is expanded to include all web pages and the remainder of this step can be skipped.…". > > All the best > > Alistair > > On 5 Jul 2012, at 10:48, Shadi Abou-Zahra wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> As per my action from last week to "go through methodology and propose wording changes to better address the possibility to evaluate all pages, if the evaluator is willing to do so" [1], please find suggested wording changes below: >> >> [1] <http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/2011/eval/track/actions/2> >> >> >> # Introduction >> - <http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG-EM/#introduction> >> >> Current text: >> [[ >> Website owners, procurers, suppliers, developers, and others are frequently tasked with assessing the conformance of an existing website to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.
