Agree we can close the issue with Ben's proposed rationale. Consider adding the following to the rationale: On [date], the Working Group approved the following wording for SC 1.2.1: [Exact wording here] This would address the comment about transcripts -- they are not an option at L1.

Captioning on live multimedia at level 1 Description: Bruce Bailey says: Any success criteria that maps closely to the Section 508 Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility Standards must be at level 1. The most significant deviation in this regard is the lack of the requirement for captioning on live multimedia (1.2.3). (The recent editor's draft deviates even further in proposing that transcripts be considered acceptable at level 1 for prerecorded multimedia.) Propose closing this with the following comment: The working group was unable to gain consensus about including this criterion at level 1. However, our conformance model provides a mechanism for specifying conformance to specific level criterion beyond level 1. -- Ben Caldwell | <caldwell@trace.wisc.edu> Trace Research and Development Center <http://trace.wisc.edu>
