Partner WCAG with EN 17161 Design For All

Hey folks,
I published a series on EN 17161 Design For All, and why I believe that the
digital accessibility industry should embrace it as a partner standard to
WCAG. I think it can be the answer to some of the biggest challenges we've
been dealing with for the past two decades.

I'm sending this to AGWG's mailing list because it closely relates to a
topic that was on our agenda two weeks ago. I'd love to get feedback,
but *please
don't CC reply to this email*. AGWG doesn't want long email discussions. If
you want to talk about it send me a direct message.
