AW: APA Web Payments sub-group: ACTION-2078: Draft and send an email to the WAI-IG, asking for help with the PAUR -- DRAFT message

Hi Katie, All,

Buying/paying something online works over a web site or a web application – better: something in between. So it  should suffice to make this web source accessible according to WCAG 2.0, improving all web application parts eventually with WAI-ARIA to make the paying process accessible.

For me as a blind person the real problem during payment processes is the sometimes activated, very short time-out time that is inpossible to prolong.
Futhermore I need a very clear statemnet about the current status of my payment: was the previous step OK and what exactly is the current one that I have to handle.

Ciao     Mario
