Clicky the little flag. Zoom the page. Some of the font drops off the bottom of the page, and scrolling doesn't work. (Chrome, macbook pro, OSX).

On the main text. Zoom the page. Some of the text falls off the left hand side, and there's no way to read it.

I mention the sight thing because it's clearly ignoring the fact that some people cannot see; and other people cannot hear; and other people cannot talk; and other people have neurological problems. It makes assumptions about people's ability to understand visual cues.

But, if you really want to talk about the rest of the document: It assumes people are reasonable, and thus we don't need rules. But we need rules because some people are not reasonable, some people are arseholes. Clear rules give those people hints about what is acceptable, and makes it easier for you to get rid of those people if they don't become acceptable.

It feels like they've left themselves wide open to legal action. All that ambiguity is what lawyers dream of.



Ah, I misunderstood your comment - my apologies. I thought you were making a snide remark about the "sign language" part of the communication doc. I guess if I shouldn't leap to accuse people of leaping to accuse people of things! Sorry :(
