  1. Are there additional Design Principles and Requirements that should be included in the WCAG 3 project?

Yes - inclusion of a compliance level or mechanism that only depends upon automated/automatable tests rather than needing human judgement and review. Sites need to be able to approach some level of conformance without manual effort, or with minimal manual effort on a limited number of key outcomes. This would, of course, not be a desired end-point for any content, but this is sufficiently important for many large and highly dynamic sites that it merits mention in the requirements document.

Approved response:

We have received similar requests for an automated test level. There are some complex issues associated with this, including the problems of reducing the accessibility at that level. We intend to make WCAG3 testing more granular to support automated testing. We are going to address this issue when we have a more detailed conversation on Conformance.

We do not think that it needs an update to the requirements document.
