This gives a glimpse of how a government might consider conformance of third-party content. A few key take-aways based on reading this shared document and the SAPRM are that: > Organizations and governments will need to make a decision on their risk/inclusion of people with disabilities based on the presence and detailed level of conformance communicated for third party content > Regardless of where the content comes from it impacts users with disabilities > Not-all third party content is the same in terms of impact to the user and control by the organization > Authoring tool supports and/or community guidelines are important aspect of this. > Some aspects of linked content and social media may be out of scope of WCAG but still important. > > Jonathan > > From: Chuck Adams <charles.adams@oracle.com> > Sent: Monday, June 21, 2021 9:57 AM > To: WCAG list (w3c-wai-gl@w3.org) <w3c-wai-gl@w3.org>; Silver TF <public-silver@w3.org> > Subject: RE: AGENDA ADDENDUM and Survey - AGWG Meeting June 22nd 2021 > > CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.
