Actual Results
The “Start date", and "End date" present in the main content, are not semantically declared as a description list. As a result, users of a screen reader will not be able to understand the page's content structure.
Expected Results
Mark up the description list using <dl>, <dt>, and <dd>. Make sure that each set of list items is contained in a single <dl>, containing each term within <dt> tags and each description within <dd> tags. Only use separate <dl> tags when the list items are contained logically and visually in separate, distinct lists.
