[ID] 14 [Commenter] Richard Warren, Kerstin Probiesch, and Kathleen Wahlbin (in questionnaire) [Location] 3.3 Step 3: Select a Representative Sample [Status] Closed [Priority] High [Suggested Change] This section should be optional and requires an introductory paragraph to explain why sampling might be required. [Resolution] Resolution: Add a paragraph like "While ideally every web page of a website is evaluated, usually this is not possible on most websites. In cases where all web pages can be evaluated, this sampling procedure can be skipped and the selected sample is considered to be the entire website in the remaining steps." Rationale: Reiterate what is already explained in the section on small websites See also commment ID11c [Rationale] 
We have discussed this at length and agreed that a full audit (every page) should be the default position. Sampling should only be used if the site is large and resources are limited. If sampling is used it must be stated in the conformance claim.
