Using This Methodology
----



 * ( ) accept this section as draft
 * (x) accept this section as draft with the following suggestions
 * ( ) I do not accept this section as draft
 * ( ) I abstain (not vote)
 priority: medium

location: Particular Types of Websites > Website in Multiple Versions

current wording:  
Note: Websites using responsive design techniques (i.e. adapting the
presentation according to user hardware, software, and preferences) as
opposed to redirecting the user to a different location are not considered
to be independent website versions.

suggested revision:
Note: Websites using responsive design techniques (i.e. adapting the
presentation according to user hardware, software, and preferences) as
opposed to redirecting the user to a different location are not considered
to be independent website versions unless the site at the different
breakpoints utilizes different code.  In that case, the website at the
different breakpoints could be considered as individual websites each for
evaluation.

rationale: clarify what is needed for evaluating responsive websites

Scope of Applicability
----



 * (x) accept this section as draft
 * ( ) accept this section as draft with the following suggestions
 * ( ) I do not accept this section as draft
 * ( ) I abstain (not vote)
 


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



 * (x) accept this section as draft
 * ( ) accept this section as draft with the following suggestions
 * ( ) I do not accept this section as draft
 * ( ) I abstain (not vote)
 


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



 * ( ) accept this section as draft
 * (x) accept this section as draft with the following suggestions
 * ( ) I do not accept this section as draft
 * ( ) I abstain (not vote)
 priority: mild
location: Step 2a and Step 2c

current wording: 
Methodology Requirement 2.a: Identify the common web pages, including web
page states, of the target website.

Explore the target website to identfy its common web pages, which may also
be web page states in web applications. Typically these are linked directly
from the main entry point (home page) of the target website, and often
linked from the header, navigation, and footer sections of other web pages.
The outcome of this step is a list of all common web pages and web page
states.

suggested revision: 
Methodology Requirement 2.a: Identify the common web pages of the target
website.

Explore the target website to identify its common web pages, which may also
be web page states in web applications. Typically these are linked directly
from the main entry point (home page) of the target website, and often
linked from the header, navigation, and footer sections of other web pages.
The outcome of this step is a list of all common web pages.

rationale: Both of these two section talk about web page states.  Remove
this from step 2a since it is detailed in step 2c.  This would simplify the
steps. The word "identfy" is not spelled correctly.


---------------------------------
Step 3: Select a Representative Sample
----



 * (x) accept this section as draft
 * ( ) accept this section as draft with the following suggestions
 * ( ) I do not accept this section as draft
 * ( ) I abstain (not vote)
 


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



 * ( ) accept this section as draft
 * (x) accept this section as draft with the following suggestions
 * ( ) I do not accept this section as draft
 * ( ) I abstain (not vote)
 priority: strong

location: none/missing

current wording: n/a

suggested revision: Add a new step to include information on how to use
assistive technology in testing.  This step could be marked as optional.

rationale:  In section 1.c, we ask people to define the web browser,
assistive technologies and other user agents for which features provided on
the website are to be accessibility supported but then we do not have
language about this in the auditing of the selected sample.  I feel that
this should be included. 


---------------------------------
Step 5: Record the Evaluation Findings
----



 * (x) accept this section as draft
 * ( ) accept this section as draft with the following suggestions
 * ( ) I do not accept this section as draft
 * ( ) I abstain (not vote)
