-			<p>This specification, in conjunction with the <a href="./indie-ui-events.html">Events Module</a>, is intended address the problem of device-, <abbr title="operating system">OS</abbr>-, and localization-independent control of web content. See the <a href="#intro">introduction</a> for background and usage examples.</p>
+			<p>IndieUI: User Context defines a set of preferences that users can choose to expose to web applications. User can set preferences for features such as screen and font size, color, and typographical preferences. Users with disabilities can provide information about assistive technologies in use, indicate that the display is in an accessibility mode, and indicate whether and what kind of subtitles and audio descriptions they need. Web applications can choose to use this information to optimize the presentation without a requirement to target a specific device, operating system, or locale. While customizations based on these properties benefit users, the information could also be used to make assumptions about users or compromise anonymity. Therefore, the specification allows users to opt out and choose not to expose information on a category basis.</p>

+			<p>For the First Public Working Draft, the Working Group has included a basic set of user context properties that the group believes provide high benefit and wide applicability. A larger set of properties has been identified as useful, but including them all might complicate initial adoption of the model. For this reason, many of those properties are currently expected to be introduced in later versions of the specification, but some may appear in future Working Drafts of this 1.0 version. Potential properties are explored on the <a href="http://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/wiki/User_Context/Requirements">User Context requirements wiki page</a>.</p>
+			<p>Privacy is an important consideration for IndieUI: User Context. It is important that the specification provide an appropriate balance between the usefulness of the features defined and the ability of users to keep information confidential. The Working Group is coordinating with the <a href="http://www.w3.org/Privacy/">Privacy Interest Group</a>, and public input on this issue is also encouraged.</p>
 			<p>Feedback on this specification is essential to success of the technology. The IndieUI WG asks in particular:</p>
 			<ul>
-				<li>Does the spec meet its requirements, and are the requirements complete?</li>
-				<li>Does the spec meet both accessibility and mainstream use cases successfully without compromising one for the other?</li>
-				<li>Is this approach useful and necessary compared to existing techniques? </li>
+				<li>Does the specification meet its requirements, and are the requirements complete?</li>
+				<li>Is the set of properties appropriate for the 1.0 version? Should any properties be added or removed?</li>
+				<li>Is the privacy model satisfactory?</li>
 				<li>Is this approach easy to implement? If not, why not?</li>
