RE: [feedback sought] proposal to move sections in WCAG-EM

Hi Shadi, all,

- 1.d to 4: No problem. Originally I think we added this verify if a developer build the site using certain predefined techniques. Since it is a verification step, you can do this during the actual evaluation (step 4) (+1)
 
- 3.d: Seems to me that this is currently in the right place, it is about including a certain page in your sample, it belongs in the sampling section (step 3) (-1)

- 3.a / c:  I'm not a big fan of combining step 3a to 3c.  Currently there's nice correspondance to 2a to 2c, which seemed natural to me during the test-run. If we do this, we should add 3.d to this as well. (-1)

- 4a and c: These indeed fit nicely together. While evaluating you always check for alternatives. (+1)

Kind regards,

Martijn Houtepen

Onderwerp: [feedback sought] proposal to move sections in WCAG-EM

Dear Eval TF,

While working on the final Editor Draft of WCAG-EM it occurred to me that reorganization of a few sections could lead to better clarity of the document. In particular:
  - Step 1.d (define evaluation procedures) seems more related to the use of techniques (or other methods) during evaluation (i.e. Step 4) than to Step 1.
  - Similarly, Step 3.d (include complete processes) seems more related to the evaluation than the sampling. In fact, it can be directly merged with Step 4.b (check for complete processes).
  - Steps 3.a, 3.b, and 3.c could be also merged together into a new section called "Select a structured sample" with a complimentary step "Generate a randomly selected sample" (we can tweak the titles).
  - We had also discussed combining Step 4.a (check for each success
criterion) and Step 4.c (check for accessible alternatives). The information from Step 1.d fits nicely with these two sections.

I would like to discuss this reorganization (through which none of the current guidance will be lost) with you during tomorrow's call.

Feel free to send any initial thoughts to the list too.

Regards,
   Shadi
