Dear WAI Interest Group Participants,

The W3C WAI invites you to comment on the First Public Working Draft of Accessibility Requirements for People with Low Vision at:
      https://www.w3.org/TR/low-vision-needs/

Overview:
This document describes what people with low vision need for electronic content, tools, and technologies to be accessible. It includes an overview of low vision and describes specific user needs. It does not set technical requirements. It provides the background for planned future work on guidance for making web content, tools, and technologies accessible to people with low vision.

Draft:
This draft provides the overall framework and approach planned for this document. Additional information and specific questions for review are in the Status section at:
      https://www.w3.org/TR/low-vision-needs/#sotd
