Responder ACT Rules Format 1.0 Working DraftComments
Wilco Fiers Yes, the draft is ready for publication as-is.
Kasper Isager Dalsgarð Yes, the draft is ready for publication, with the edits/changes proposed in a GitHub issue or in the comments below. We at Siteimprove would like to know what we're going to do in order to get feedback on the editor's note currently present in the "Rule Grouping" section of the current draft (https://w3c.github.io/wcag-act/act-rules-format.html#grouping). We think it's an important point to clarify as we might otherwise encounter rules that we cannot write using the ACT specification (such as rules for SC 2.4.5 Multiple Ways).
Charu Pandhi Yes, the draft is ready for publication, with the edits/changes proposed in a GitHub issue or in the comments below. "An expectation is a statement that must be true about each test target (see Applicability)." Suggest clarifying what we mean by an Expectation by stating, " An expectation is a conformance statement that must be discrete and true about each test target"
Romain Deltour Yes, the draft is ready for publication, with the edits/changes proposed in a GitHub issue or in the comments below. There are still a few sections that lack clarity IMO, for instance:

- the output format section (see issue #162)
- the QA section (see issues #163, #164)
- on rule aggregation (see issue #165)

I don’t think that should prevent us from publishing a new public working draft, but I believe we should at least add notes and ideally pointers to GitHub issues, so that readers are aware when we identified issues already (see #166).

Otherwise, there are a couple editorial low-hanging fruits that we could add if time allows:

#136, #168, #169, #170, #171


I’m so sorry for the late submissions, of for missing yet another call. I don’t want to hinder our publishing of the next draft with this, so feel free to postpone these to the next draft.
