Hello,

 

At this point we have several suggested changes to Focus Appearance and Target Size to address concerns raised during Candidate Review (CR). Making these normative changes will require we reenter CR and slip publication to June. 

 

We need to make a decision about whether those changes are worth restarting CR and slipping publication to the June timeframe.  This is a straw poll to get a sense from the group where everyone stands.

 

Do you believe we should:

 

1.       Leave Focus Appearance and Target Size text as is in the current draft, transition to PR, and publish on schedule, or

2.       Update the text and restart CR, publishing in the June timeframe?

 

The changes discussed at today’s meeting and in other email threads are:

 

·         Target Size Pull Request

·         Change Focus Appearance to:



When the keyboard focus indicator is visible, an area of the focus indicator meets all the following:

o    is at least as large as the area of a 2 CSS pixel thick perimeter of the unfocused component or sub-component, and

has a contrast ratio of at least 3:1 between the same pixels in the focused and unfocused states.

I’ve included the changes above to simplify hunting but please limit your response on this thread to whether you think the changes are worth slipping the schedule.

Kind regards,

 

Rachael
