<h3>About this draft</h3>

<p>This draft includes an updated list of the potential guidelines, requirements, and assertions that have progressed to <a href="#section-status-levels">Developing status</a>.</p>
<p>This draft includes updates to the list of potential guidelines, requirements, and assertions that have progressed to <a href="#section-status-levels">Developing status</a>.</p>

<p>Requirements and assertions at the Exploratory status are not included in this Working Draft. If you would like to see the complete list, please review the <a href="https://w3c.github.io/wcag3/guidelines/">Editor's Draft</a>. </p>

<p>Please consider the following questions when reviewing this draft:</p>
<ul>
<li>Are there requirements that should not be included?</li>
<li>Is this way of wording the requirements clearer than the approach used in WCAG 2?</li>
<li>What are your thoughts on assertions?</li>
<li>Are there user-needs which are not covered?</li>
<li>The conformance model has been updated, there are several questions in the <a href="#conformance">conformance section</a></li>
<li>Is the "applies when" and "except when" format for requirements understandable and useful?</li>
<li>Does the increased granularity of the requirements help understanding and application?</li>
</ul>
<p>Additionally, the Working Group welcomes any research that supports requirements or assertions.</p>

<p>To provide feedback, please open a new issue in the <a href="https://github.com/w3c/wcag3/issues">WCAG 3 GitHub repository</a>. Create a separate GitHub issue for each topic, rather than commenting on multiple topics in a single issue.</p>

<li>the intent at this stage is to be as inclusive as possible of potential requirements, and</li>
<li>WCAG 3 requirements are more granular than WCAG 2 success criteria. </li>
</ul>
<p>The final set of requirements in WCAG 3 will be different from what is in this draft. Requirements are likely to be added, combined, and removed. We also expect changes to the text of the requirements. Only some of the requirements will be used to meet the base level of conformance.</p>
