Brent Bakken	I'm OK with the summary bullets as is; please consider my comments in GitHub 147 (or below) for Editors' discretion.	Okay to publish as is. Very well done. Just two suggestions to consider, but leave it up to editor discretion. Sixth Bullet: "Provide a text transcript from the caption text and the description of visual information so that people who are Deaf-blind get the video content." - Not sure I like the work "get." Could something slightly more formal be used here: "can access," etc. Seventh Bullet: "Provide sign language so that Deaf people whose native language is sign get the content in their language." - Don't like the second use of the word "sign." How about... "Provide sign language so that Deaf people whose native language is signing can receive the content in their language."

Shadi Abou-Zahra	I'm OK with the summary bullets as is; please consider my comments in GitHub 147 (or below) for Editors' discretion.	[editors] "Provide a text transcript from the caption text and the description of visual information so that people who are Deaf-blind get the video content." -- maybe add "Some media players do this automatically"? [editors] "Provide sign language so that Deaf people whose native language is sign get the content in their language." -- maybe add "where possible" to soften this a little (ie. "Provide sign language where possible" or such)? I know that this is not in-line with the current neutral approach but "provide" kind of sticks out to me.
Hidde de Vries	I agree with the new summary bullets and approve publication.
Andrew Arch	I agree with the new summary bullets and approve publication.	Excellent update :)
Mark Palmer	I agree with the new summary bullets and approve publication.
Estella Oncins	I'm OK with the summary bullets as is; please consider my comments in GitHub 147 (or below) for Editors' discretion.	This is a really good work! only bullet point 3 "Use a media player that supports accessibility" might be problematic as to the best of my knowledge there is no current media player in the market that supports and/or integrates all accessibility services. Maybe a note could be included but I leave it for Editors' discretion.
Sharron Rush	I agree with the new summary bullets and approve publication.

Shadi Abou-Zahra	[lo] "Many people who are Deaf can read text well. They get the audio information from transcripts or captions. Some people prefer sign language." -> "Many people who are Deaf get the audio information from transcripts or captions. Some people prefer sign language." -- the "can read text well" seems a little off IMO. [med] I find this first page extremely long an overwhelming. I wonder if this should become a real first page of the resource that people could specifically point? Something like "background" or "getting started" or such.
