Re: Success Criteria Best Practice Guidelines

One additional change that got out of sync with the email and the wiki page – David suggested changing the first sub-bullet to “Are as short as possible” and that is what it on the wiki page.  I adjusted the text below to match that.

Success Criteria Best Practice Guidelines

For the Working Group to accept a candidate success criterion, they need to fit within the overall structure. The following are guidelines that will help the Working Group efficiently process suggested SC:

  *   Ensure that the criteria is written as simply as possible. SC are better when they:
     *   Are as short as possible
     *   Minimize the use of lists and when necessary numbered lists are preferred to more easily allow referencing specific items
     *   Do not require the use of "notes" (Notes are regarded as Normative in WCAG 2.0 and 2.1)
     *   Avoid jargon and unnecesarily complex language.
  *   When utilizing a glossary term (or adding a glossary term) the SC needs to make sense when the defined term is replaced with the full glossary definition.
  *   The SC can be summarized into a simple language sentence that describes its theme

Please provide any comments/suggestions.
