Subject: [External] : [WCAG2ICT] PLEASE RESPOND ASAP! Updated proposal from the WAI team on Security Considerations

Hi all,

There is one remaining document change for the group to approve regarding the Security Considerations section. Though the group had consensed on the Google doc Option 4<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1YfD_Rxeg72vLZXBuV05BDvlKFCjwy5KZEOeeJSTtfLY/edit*heading=h.5ghwvutdd6xn__;Iw!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!MCGkYZN2q2Zi915ccj4HW9GuvQdlcaXUy3PSQcoigQeMO6ZXFSx-rb5qGHaM8HVViCsfGGs8ICThYs6defo$> (an/or the edited Option 5<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1YfD_Rxeg72vLZXBuV05BDvlKFCjwy5KZEOeeJSTtfLY/edit*heading=h.u10x3rl9ynll__;Iw!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!MCGkYZN2q2Zi915ccj4HW9GuvQdlcaXUy3PSQcoigQeMO6ZXFSx-rb5qGHaM8HVViCsfGGs8ICThKC2XQWM$> from Mitch), the WAI leadership was concerned with the wording that it could be read that accessibility features increase security risks. They have come up with an alternative proposal.

Please review Option 6: WAI Team input<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1YfD_Rxeg72vLZXBuV05BDvlKFCjwy5KZEOeeJSTtfLY/edit*heading=h.oedhn5n84jd4__;Iw!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!MCGkYZN2q2Zi915ccj4HW9GuvQdlcaXUy3PSQcoigQeMO6ZXFSx-rb5qGHaM8HVViCsfGGs8ICTh_qqgebI$> and the proposed answer to Issue 508<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1YfD_Rxeg72vLZXBuV05BDvlKFCjwy5KZEOeeJSTtfLY/edit*heading=h.j3muqx2kheiz__;Iw!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!MCGkYZN2q2Zi915ccj4HW9GuvQdlcaXUy3PSQcoigQeMO6ZXFSx-rb5qGHaM8HVViCsfGGs8ICThdTUU_fE$>. Respond with a +1, 0, or -1 to indicate whether you agree, are neutral, or disagree with the document change proposal as-is and that the issue answer is sufficient as-is.
