Judy & Gregg, Judy limited the recent call to discussing a disclaimer to be inserted at the beginning of the WCAG2 draft. If members of the WCAGWG intends to encourage wider participation and consensus, they will need to ensure this work is continued throughout the current draft . For example: When making assertions it is helpful if the axioms relied on are self- evident. Where this is not the case, evidence and references should be provided: On what basis is "Guideline 3.1 Make text content readable and understandable." defined by "lower secondary education level"? What fraction of the web population are included in this definition? What fraction of the general population is excluded? Where is the statement explaining why this group is excluded? Where is the link to a statement describing how to include them? The whole WCAG2 draft needs a thorough revision. This is a significant and challenging task. regards Jonathan Chetwynd "On behalf of more than forty signatories to the formal objection."
