    * Hi Joe,
    * Looking good!...
    * One question, re this section (bottom of page 6):
    * The Functional Success Criteria (Chapter 3) does not include any criteria specific to learning disabilities. We were unable to come up with a specific recommendation, but I'm capturing this here as a placeholder for further deliberation.

Does this mean it requires further work by ATHEN, or by the Access Board? If meant as a task for regulators, I suggest changing to:

"We were unable to formulate specific recommendations, but effects on populations with learning disabilities deserve further deliberation. "

Fun stuff! :) Thanks for tackling this,

Patrick
