Survey for WCAG3 detailed requirements

Hi everyone,



We (the chairs) wanted to follow up on the discussion from the last meeting, which was about:



Writing a list of criteria/approaches for how we will meet the Requirements documents for WCAG 3<https://www.w3.org/TR/wcag-3.0-requirements/#requirements>.



There was a question about what we call these (internally to the group). Based on the survey<https://www.w3.org/wbs/35422/Naming_convention/results/>, we're going with "Requirements Checkpoints". This is an internal name for us to use when referencing them, and is not for general public consumption.



The purpose of these more detailed requirements for WCAG3 is to organise our work. We will be going through each item individually to refine the wording and apply a timeline.



In response to some of the comments in the survey:



The comment on structure is reasonable, but these are requirements for WCAG3, not the accessibility requirements in WCAG3.



The problems we are solving are coming from the requirements document, which came from the Silver group's research.



The suggested solutions are the consensus solutions of the working group. We've discussed many solutions; these are the ones the group has thought most appropriate.



As we have not completely worked through the solutions, it would be premature to answer questions such as how much effort a solution requires from authors, or what the risks/uncertainties are. These are good questions to document, either in editorial notes or in the WCAG3 explainer.  In our next charter we will include a commitment to doing this as the solutions are finalized.



Kind regards,



-Alastair
