Using This Methodology
----

 * ( ) I do not accept this section as draft
 * ( ) I abstain (not vote)
 I would like to re-arrange the text in the section "Evaluation Tools" to
make it more clear that automated testing will never be sufficient on its
own. I suggest changing the second sentence to read
"Many checks are not automatable, however, web accessibility evaluation
tools can significantly assist evaluators during the evaluation process and
contribute to more effective evaluation"
Sentence 4 would not then be required.

---------------------------------
Step 1: Define the Evaluation Scope
----

 * (x) I abstain (not vote)
 Steps 1d and 1e. I understand, and approve of, the concept but I am not
sure if the wording is right and cannot think of how to improve it at this
stage.


---------------------------------
Step 2: Explore the Target Website

Step 3: Select a Representative Sample

 The implication is now that ALL websites require selecting a
representative sample. This is not so. Ideally all pages should be
evaluated. If, and only if, the site is too large for a full evaluation to
be viable should we need to select a representative sample.

Also I am not happy with the step 3e (select a random sample). There have
been many discussions about this and no definitive conclusion. I suggest
that we leave the method of selecting the random sample up to the evaluator
- who MUST record his/her method in step 5 so that it can be replicated.


---------------------------------
Step 4: Audit the Selected Sample
