@detlevhfischer We made many of the changes you suggested and updated the overall editor's note to clarify some of your concerns. There were two items we did not have enough information to make final changes but include proposals below. Please respond here with suggested changes before Monday May 6th.

1. You asked for something more specific for Pointer cancellation: Pointer cancellation is consistent. The suggested revision in the meeting was "Pointer cancellation techniques are consistent."
2. You asked about the use case for "Focus retention: A user can focus on a content “area” then resume their view of all content using a limited number of steps". The suggested revision in the meeting was "Focus retention: A user can focus on a content “area,” such as a modal or pop-up, then resume their view of all content using a limited number of steps

Summary 30 April Meeting

Two decisions that were made at today's meeting:

• Put Guidelines content in Editor's Draft following our standard procedures.
• Agree to have a Call for Consensus to move Guidelines content to Working Draft with additional wording to editors note about editor's note not being on specific items, additional research markings, removing the word "guidelines", and minor updates discussed in meeting.

Per our process, if you have concerns about these decisions please thumbs down this summary before Monday, May 6th and add a comment about your concerns. Use thumbs up to support these decisions.

The sections with new content are the Introduction and Guidelines sections. The editor's note has been changed slightly since the meeting per our discussion.

@rachaelbradley Updates to Focus retention and Pointer Cancellation

• For Focus Retention, the amended text seems a clear improvement.
• Regarding Pointer Cancellation, the fact that you talk about "Pointer cancellation techniques" (plural) made me wonder whether this does not sit a bit oddly with the ask of consistency. However, looking at 2.5.2 Techniques, it is possible that two techniques are supported at the same time, one for case 1, activation of targets on up event, and the other for case 2, cancelling dragging movements, and both are used throughout, i.e., consistently. (The pencilled-in future technique, "Touch events are only triggered when touch is removed from a control" looks to me like a duplicate of G212.) So one could flesh this out to cover these two scenarios, but it may be too much detail at the level intended.

A few pieces of feedback on the introduction and transition into the new outcomes that I hope will aid comprehension once this is in working draft (and the public's hands):

1. We need to provide a brief overview of the structure of WCAG 3 in the Introduction. This is explained in the Abstract, but I think reiterating it in the Introduction will aid those not familiar with our new terminology in understanding what has been changed. It's also important to point out that we have changed/restructured the Guidelines in this version along with the Outcomes. I would also link to the Guidelines directly, so people also see our callout for feedback.
2. This part of the introduction: "The final version of WCAG 3 will not include all of these outcomes. Of the Outcomes that are included: The text of the Outcomes will change the text listed in this version," I don't understand this wording and I think it will be confusing for readers not familiar with our work.
3. In the opening editor's note for Guidelines, we clearly explain what we need from the community, and for research we provide guidance on sending it to us, we should do the same for the feedback.

Otherwise, great work and I'm excited to see a fresh working draft!
