Subject: REF 1.6 - New Success Criteria
 
New Checkpoint
 
Second Required Success Criteria for 1.6
 
We don't anywhere talk about a checkpoint regarding background color. I
think that we need to have one and I think it should be required.
 
Suggest the following.
 
Text that is presented at checkpoint 2 - text that is presented over a
background color or gray scale has a mechanism that allows the text to
be presented in a fashion that there is a greater than ______ contrast
between text and background color as measured by ______.
