I think the definitions section should clearly invite review of the proposed new entries, and state that the definitions have not been agreed to by consensus of the working group.

Lisa,

It is too late to add a definition.

 

Thanks,

+1 to the CFC 

 

 

We have a small editorial clarification in the definition of loss to change to define Significant financial loss as :

 

 

Significant financial loss is devastating, with an individual's emotional wellbeing a primary casualty, and mental health also vulnerable." 

 

>From Bruhn, A. G. (2015). Personal and social impacts of significant financial loss. Australian Journal of Management, 40(3), 459-477. 

 

If there is no objection we may want to add this as it makes it more clear, but we understand if it is too late

 

All the best

+1  ETS supports the publication of this FPWD, but has one suggestion for usability of the document:

Section 0.1 includes the sentences:

To differentiate new Success Criteria, they are labeled as "new" and displayed in a green box.

They are labeled as "proposed" and displayed in an orange box.

Searching for the word “new” takes you through 18 occurrences of the word new, while only two new SC are present. There are 96 occurrences of the word proposed while there are 26 proposed SC.

To aid readers, for example those who use AT, to quickly locate the new and proposed SC via search, it would be easier to indicate that a reader can search for “[New]” or “[Proposed]”, which is how they are indicated in the text.  However, CSS content before/after are used to place the square brackets around the words, and they are not searchable with the brackets using Firefox, Chrome or Safari (which I tested). Lacking any other searchable semantic markup or text that could be used to differentiate the SC, searching can be laborious.

Can this be fixed?  And if fixed, can the text in 0.1 be changed to something similar to that below?

To differentiate new Success Criteria, they are labeled as "new", searchable via the text "[New]", and displayed in a green box.

They are labeled as "proposed", searchable via the text "[New]" and displayed in an orange box.

Thanks for considering this change.

Call For Consensus — ends Thursday February 23th at 1:30pm Boston time.

The Working Group discussed the latest editor’s draft of WCAG 2.1 (https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/FPWD_review/guidelines/index.html) and basedon a survey (https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/WCAG21FWPD/results) and a Working Group call (http://www.w3.org/2017/02/21-ag-minutes.html) where the majority of comments were
resolved and no blocking issues remained.

On the call people believed that we had reached a consensus position that the Working Group should publish the Editor's Draft as the First Publish Working Draft (FPWD). This will allow the group to meet its charter deadline. The Working Group included several SC that do not have Working Group consensus, but the Working Group did have consensus that publishing was valuable in order to get additional feedback from the public, and notes were included in the draft to point out aspects that do not have consensus at this time.

If you have concerns about this proposed consensus position that have not been discussed already and feel that those concerns result in you “not being able to live with” this decision, please let the group know before the CfC deadline.

Thanks,
AWK
