Based on comments at the meeting on May 24, the following changes were made to the draft.

Editorial cleanup

  • All provision text has been updated to the latest reports from the subcommittees
  • The provisions are renumbered. Sections and subsections are given numbers. Individual provisions use a letter.

Changes to the structure

  • We retitled the first section and added a new subsection for "General Technical Requirements" (suggestion made by Rex Lindt)
  • The section for products with keyboards has been moved to the Sofware section (as noted at the meeting, with the concurrence of General and Web/Software)
  • The title of the section on Web content was expanded to "If Web or Application Content" (suggestion made by Andi Snow-Weaver)
  • Note that suggestions for new provisions for the Functional Performance Critera are noted on the comments page for this section.

For any further changes:

  • Suggestions for changes to content can be made to the appropriate subcommittee, or on pages linked from each provision.
  • Suggestions for further changes to the structure can be made to the Editorial Working Group, or on pages linked from the draft sections.
