Part of Item:
Comment Type: general comment
Comment (including rationale for proposed change):

I think WCAG itself (agendas forms etc) need to be more usable for people with Cognitive Imparments like impaired short term /visual / auditory memory

If we can not make our own system usable then people with these imapairments can nt comment and affect the guidlines

It also clearly shows a lack of understanding of how to make content accessible for people with LD and Cognitive limitatsions


As a side note I have participated in a few W3C groups and I find WCAG the hardest for people with LD to participate in.

If anyone thinks I am unable to undersatnd the concepts they should refier to http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/GUI/roleTaxonomy-20060508.html

It is the presention that makes it inaccessible not the content


Proposed Change:

Resolution - Pending Response:

We have attempted to make our processes and documents more accessible, but recognize that they have a long way to go. We have limited tools and resources and are open to specific suggestions for improvement.
