I have read this document and do not see any new issues at the moment that should be added/changed. I will continue to look at this and will advise of any suggestions I can think of.

Not too much content-wise from me (but I haven’t been involved in active policy development), but a few nit-picky things (sorry

Edits in GitHub but overall I'm confused by this document and the one below. It's hard for me to determine how it's different from the planning guide and I imagine it would be even more so for a user fairly new to accessibility planning.
Howard Kramer
  • I completed a thorough review of the document and have added comments or issues in GitHub or in the comment section below.
I thought it looked good. The only concern I had was the first part - reference standards. It seems like we're directing folks out to these very large resources but unlike the other sections below, there's no example on how they might be used.

Andrew Arch The sentence "This document guides your development of a web accessibility policy that works within the context of your specific environment." implies the reader will develop the policy. This may or may-not be the case, so suggest "This document guides your organization's development ..."

The 'simple policy' examples references WCAG 2.0, but the following text suggests starting simple and then expanding, including referencing standards! Maybe we should simplify the example further?

The Reference Standards section does not include WAI-ARIA - this is probably more relevant to most organisations that UAAG.

The emphasis is on web-content rather than an interactive/transnational site. (While 'content' technically interludes interactions, it is often interpreted as static informational content.) The page does not recognise the inherent difference in upgrading informational content vs interactive content - different milestones might even be needed (and even need to be adjusted as work progresses - partly addressed in "Define Monitoring and Review Process"). Also, let's reset the dates to somewhere in the future :)

Wonder if there should be a section about third-party tools (e.g. HR system, shopping catalogue and basket, payment systems) all of which are part of customers experience on your sites, but which might be beyond your control from an accessibility upgrade perspective (and often can't just be ditched and replaced easily). This aspect seems to be covered in the 'policy template', but not discussed in the 'third party content' section.

# Opening summary statement: "To learn about how an organizational policy forms part of a broader approach to implementing accessibility, read Planning and Managing Web Accessibility." The link to Planning and Managing... goes to the wrong resource at this time, will it be correct when Planning and Managing is complete and approved?
# ATAG - add word: "ATAG guidelines outline both how to make the tools [themselves] accessible and also how the tools can be built to help create more accessible content."
# UAAG - typo: "Find out more at ATAG Overview" should be "Find out more at [UAAG] Overview"
# Set Conformance Milestones - edit: "For all items in scope, define a date by which it will meet the policy, or if it already meets the policy, identify when it was last reviewed.
# Next Steps: Maintaining your policy - What to consider: "Determine if policy scope needs to be adjusted due to new content or significant changes to structure of web site." (or something to that effect.

Just one minor thing: https://github.com/w3c/wai-planning-and-implementation/issues/40

Also, I can see that this is a lot of text – I think a **future** version might have each section on its own page and probably even expand on the individual issues with more concrete example.

I personally found the document hard to skim and it is also a bit weird when the “key actions” are shorter than the introductory sentences. I think that a **future** version of the document might be more actionable and tersify the introductory text.

The link to Planning and Managing... goes to the wrong resource at this time, will it be correct when Planning and Managing is complete and approved?
# Prioritize Solutions - Key actions: Could we possibly provide an example of a matrix that shows impact vs effort of issues for a sample site. I think the matrix is a powerful visual tool for leadership and an example here would demonstrate that.
# Implement Repairs - edit: "For each issue to be fixed, ensure that it is clear who [will] do the work[,] and that they have the appropriate skills or knowledge."
# Review Achievements - edit: "Once repairs are completed, review what has been achieved and what is still left to be [addressed]."
# Long Term - Strategic Planning - edit: "There are several things you can do to help your organization routinely create more accessible websites."

4. Accessible Components Gallery [Working Title]: Submission Criteria

summary | by responder | by choice

In the future, the Accessible Components Gallery [Working Title] will allow members of the public to submit links to widgets, templates and frameworks to a central repository (“Crowd Sourcing”).

To make sure that the components have a certain level of quality, there need to be some submission rules. The broad outline of those criteria is posted to this wiki page. Please review this Submission Criteria outline and comment in GitHub or in the Comment section below.

It is especially interesting how you search for such components and what your personal requirements are for choosing which component to use in projects.

Change from passive to active voice. For example, change
"Only components that are covered by these three categories can be submitted:"
to
"Only submit components that belong to one of these three categories:"submitted:


Also item 5 is not a requirement, so doesn't belong in a list of requirements.

Item 6 should likely be split into two points (one just for advertisements.

Change "SPAM" to "spam".

1) If they do not have a W3C account will they be able to submit components? Do we need to add directions on how to create a W3C wordpress account?
#2) Change wording to... "Only submit components that are aligned to the following categories:" Rationale - we may add more categories later, and the wording may let people know that we may be open to more categories if a key one is suggested.
#4) Change wording to... "The submitter makes sure that the submission is detailed and accurate. Submission by the creator/developer of a component is preferred."
Other) Do we need to make sure that people have checked with the original developer/author of the components for approval to submit and list them on our site?
