+1 Credibility is the key. With all its faults, WCAG 2.0 has very high credibility. We can't afford for WCAG 2.1 to lose that!

Individually, many of us are very engaged in cutting edge research, creating inventions and dreaming of ways we can make the web more inclusive.

As a group, my understanding is that our role has been to survey all the techniques and tools that are out there, and throw our collective weight behind solutions that are implementable by *web authors* and also to inform them of *how not to interfere* with existing tools.

Once in a while we can push the envelope a little beyond those things, but I don't think we can stray too far beyond that role without loosing credibility.

I think we are what we choose to be. DO most of us want to be a vetting committee?

I would rather we are improving accessibility and enabling more inclusion.
[Jason] I would argue that there’s no inherent contradiction between the two descriptions and that most of us subscribe to both.
