Instructions for the About WCAG 2.0 Presentation

Here are some comments on the instructions document.

The title might be easier to understand if "About WCAG 2.0" was put in  
quotes:
Instructions for the "About WCAG 2.0" Presentation

It might be a good idea to include a very short preface after the main  
heading to say what this instructions document is about. Or perhaps it is  
self-evident from the heading. For example "WAI provides an 'About WCAG  
2.0' presentation. This page contains the instructions for using it.  
Please read this before using the presentation."

The "available in 2 formats" part is less important than the heading that  
comes after it. It could go further down, just before the "A video  
presentation..." paragraph.

Under "Advice for Presenters" / "Customize the presentation for audience  
and time"
"Cut out" in "you will probably need to cut out slides" is perhaps  
difficult to understand for non-native speakers, implying use of scissors.  
"Delete" is more accurate.

Under "Advice for Presenters" / "Cover all displayed text..." this is  
perhaps confusing. "Talk about" is a less elegant phrase but easier to  
understand.

Under "Advice for Presenters" / "Provide handouts"
On first reading I thought this referred to printing out the presentation.  
It should perhaps be something like "Provide other WAI handouts" to avoid  
ambiguity.

Under "Permission and Reference" / Images, the sentence "Image credits and  
information on permission to use are included in the Notes section where  
the image first appears." was very difficult to understand for me. Perhaps  
it could be clearer like this "Some images in the presentation are used  
with permission. Credits and information on permission to use them are  
included in the Notes section of the slide where the image first appears".

This section should perhaps say why this is important. When people use the  
presentation themselves, do they need to obtain permission separately for  
the images?

best regards,
