Group shortened the first sentence and added new first paragraph.

Jennifer asked about grouping related items, such as labels, so that this applies to non-sighted users as well.

julierawe noted the draft already mentions that many WCAG 3 provisions specify programmatic association but leave out what would help sighted users.

Group removed 2 examples from the controls examples

Group removed them because current wording may be controversial and we don't want to distract from the larger issue this draft is raising.

Group removed a keyboard user need.

Group shortened the keyboard section so it simply notes that WCAG 3 already has a "Keyboard effort comparable" provision.

In More Details, group added 'to the point where users may abandon the process or task."

Group voted.

Help and Feedback: Second discussion of draft issues led by Jennifer
