Responder Proposed changes for "satisfies a success criterion" term definitionComments
Loïc Martínez Normand The proposal is acceptable as-is.
Mike Pluke The proposal is acceptable as-is.
Fernanda Bonnin The proposal is acceptable as-is.
Phil Day The proposal is acceptable as-is.
Bruce Bailey The proposal is acceptable as-is. WCAG2ICT v1 is why term is now defined in WCAG 2.2.
Mary Jo Mueller The proposal is acceptable as-is.

2. Proposed changes for "conformance" term definition

In the 2013 WCAG2ICT, the term "conformance" said this term wasn't used in this document, but it is used in the Comments on Conformance section. Review the changes due to Pull request 234 which deletes the content that was in the Glossary Items with Specific Guidance section and moves it to the Glossary Items that Apply to All Technologies section. Indicate whether this pull request can be merged into the editor's draft.

3. Proposed changes for "structure" term definition

In the 2013 WCAG2ICT (and thus our document), there is a misplaced note in the WCAG2ICT guidance for the term "structure". Review the proposed change in Pull request 233 which deletes the misplaced note. Indicate whether this pull request can be merged into the editor's draft. See also the updated definition of structure so you can read the update in a built document.

Responder Proposed changes for "structure" term definitionComments
Loïc Martínez Normand The proposal needs editorial changes. There is a minor change needed in note 1: the word "user" does not fit the sentence. I propose to delete that word.

The resulting note 1 would read:

Note 1: See the guidance on sets of documents and sets of software programs in the Key Terms section.
Mike Pluke The proposal is acceptable, as-is. I'm not entirely sure what I am supposed to be reviewing (I'm still very GitHub illiterate). In particular, I am not seeing anywhere the Note1 that Loïc is referring to.
Fernanda Bonnin The proposal is acceptable, as-is.
Phil Day The proposal is acceptable, as-is.
Bruce Bailey The proposal is acceptable, as-is. Thanks for good catch by Loic!
Mary Jo Mueller The proposal needs editorial changes. To Mike's question: Loïc used the built document link to structure in the question above and found the word "user" in the note. This is a good find, and it wasn't in any text that was changed, it was in the originally published 2013 WCAG2ICT as well. I agree with that change to remove "user" from the note on the definition, and went ahead and updated the PR to remove it.
