My apologies for being a bit late to the party on this one, but thank you, IFLA Taskforce for creating this response to the IFLA Accessibility Metadata Statement and Principles. Only one minor comment, and that is that there could be more clarity in the 4.2 section on what the title on Factors that Affect a Library's Success in Creating an Accessible Environment is being shortened to, as the titles look almost identical in the response paper. But otherwise this looks great, and I support the taskforce's response. Thank you again, IFLA Taskforce!

Thanks to the Task Force for its prompt work!
Karl, I see no difference between the two attachments in this thread, so I don't think we have access to the "final" draft yet.
