Dear HTML Chairs & Colleagues: On 26 January last the HTML-A11Y Task Force teleconference meeting reached consensus on a resolution requesting reconsideration of one aspect of the Issue-31 decision logged at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Apr/0451.html We request reconsideration of the portion of the Issue-31 decision which allows missing alt to be conforming when the meta generator flag is present. Steve Faulkner has prepared a change proposal which the Text Subteam, and then the HTML-A11Y Task Force has reviewed and resolved to support. RESOLUTION: The TF endorses the proposal at http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposal/meta_name%3Dgenerator_does_not_make_missing_alt_conforming pending confirmation of removal by Steve of the current text in the Negative Effects section, with 48 hours for anyone on the TF mailing list to state objections. The change proposal at the above URI is now in the form the Task Force requested of Steve. The TF resolution, together with minutes of the discussion leading up to it, is logged at: http://www.w3.org/2012/02/02-html-a11y-minutes.html The email advising all Task Force participants of this consensus resolution received no responses: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2012Feb/0041.html -- Janina Sajka, Phone: +1.443.300.2200 sip:janina@asterisk.rednote.net Chair, Open Accessibility janina@a11y.org Linux Foundation http://a11y.org Chair, Protocols & Formats Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/wai/pf World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
