RE: Re[3]: charter update with two year cycle

I agree with Katie’s point 1 below.
Regarding point 2, I think it should be “or”, not “and” since otherwise it would refer to people who have both low vision and cognitive disabilities (i.e., people who happen to have both types of disability simultaneously), whereas it’s actually meant to refer to people with low vision or with cognitive disabilities (thus defining the populations served by these extensions).

Josh and WCAG Editors,

Thanks, my comments are:

1. I like some of the new ideas in this version.

2. All places where it says "low vision or cognitive disabilities", please replace 'or' with 'and'. So it should read: low vision and cognitive disabilities

3. Where can we see the schedule for the updates is documented in the AG WG Project Management Plan?

Thanks!

Hi Katie and all,

Of course there is. All of this work is about the line between our end users requirements and the needs and wants of the group members etc. So we are working towards a compromise/workable solution. I urge everyone to take a breath. There is a new draft that the group will get a chance to give two or three cents on but we have been listening, and take very seriously yours (and others) ardent concerns. [1]

Notice that details of timeframe etc are being moved out of the charter to a seperate 'AG WG Project Management Plan' doc that is being worked on.

More details to follow.

I appreciated e'ones input on this but think it is time to find some zen space to let this evolve in a sensible way.

Thanks

Josh
