Reason for making the default position to include all pages (entire website) 1) Taking the Internet (WWW) as a whole, the majority of sites are quite small (100 or so pages), typically things like "Mum & Pop" stores, SME profiles, personal or project websites. 2) Where this is practical a full evaluation is more reliable than a sample. 3) Our brief is to deliver an evaluation methodology, not a sampling methodology. 4) Reliable sampling is a complex procedure, if owners of small/medium sites think they have to go through sampling they will give up. 5) Sampling procedure will only be required for large sites so it should be an option. The default should be to evaluate the whole site. If the evaluator feels that is too large a task then s/he should have the option to use a sampling procedure to help manage the evaluation work load. My feeling as that we need to change the order of our text so that sampling is offered as the option, not the full audit.

Can you just remind me what was behind this issue? All the best Alistair
