Re: Funka Nu AB to become LTO for WCAG 2.1

Dear Susanna,

Thanks very much for notifying us about the intention of Funka Nu AB to 
lead the Authorized Swedish Translation of WCAG 2.1.

Following *step 1* of the policy for Authorized W3C Translations:
https://www.w3.org/2005/02/TranslationPolicy.html#organizati

Could you please:
* include some more industry representation in stakeholders list
* identify specific organizations (name, nature, address/website)
* confirm that these organizations agree to participate

Please feel free to contact me if anything needed here.

Warm regards,
Xueyuan (apologises for the late response due to public holiday absense 
last week)
