Hi, My comments are specific to Step 3: Select a Representative Sample<http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG-EM/#step3> .. I would like to see more discussion/specifics around the quantity of the sample pages selected to evaluate. I think some categories could be applied to this such as: 1) small sample of website - less than 25% of pages 2) medium sample of website - between 25 - 50% of pages 3) large sample of website - between 50 - 75% of pages 4) extensive sample of website - greater than 75% of pages 5) full evaluation - 100% of pages. ** The above are just suggestions ** Requirement 3.a <http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG-EM/#req3a>, Requirement 3.b<http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG-EM/#req3b>, Requirement 3.c <http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG-EM/#req3c>, and Requirement 3.d<http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG-EM/#req3d>would still be applicable to these categories. And a detailed list of evaluated pages should still be supplied. I think having some categories like this would allow greater transparency of how much (quantity of pages) of a website is actually being assessed and evaluated. Selecting a sample size has different implications for websites of different sizes, and the category selected may vary depending accordingly. This would benefit the: - evaluation commissioner - to have a better understanding of what to request to meet their requirements or obligations - evaluator - to provide full disclosure as to the extent of evaluation, and to better meet the requirements of the commissioning organization. Thanks, Sharon.
