Is there a reason, why you use the term “electronic content” and not “digital content“? Spontaneously I associate hardware with the term “electronic”, while the document is all about software.

Changing it to "Web content" may be more accurate.

[shawna-slh]

While some of the future work may be confined to web content, we previously discussed that we want this document to be broader that web content. (/me can try to dig up minutes if needed...)

I'm not coming up with clear points for or against "electronic content" vs. "digital content"....

This is a common term. “Electronic and Information Technology” is a very common phrase.

[lauracarlson]

Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) is used in requirements, such as Section 508.

+1 for leaving it "...electronic content, tools, and technologies to be accessible"
