Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.

**IMPORTANT**

 Oct 1, 2010 is the cutoff date for bugs to be considered as pre-LC feedback.
 Note: The Chairs are still working with the editor to find ways to ensure tighter
 change control for the draft after the cutoff date.

 The expectation is to drive the Working Group based on the schedule.

Discussion is still ongoing around ISSUE-27 (rel registry).

ISSUE-41: Chairs have asked that 2 out of the 3 proposals be updated

I'm not clear about the progress related to ISSUE-74 (canvas accessibility).

New version of decision policy not released yet.

Testing front: see status report from Kris for details:
 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-testsuite/2010Sep/0006.html


Document license (known as ACTION-29) front: The Team issued a survey to
the AC that was subsequently pulled out after feedback from the HTML
Chairs. PSIG is working at revising the proposed license FAQ and the
Team is working on a revision of the survey.

The W3C Team had some discussion related to the HTML a11y TF charter and
whether the terms of the TF need to be changed. No proposal has been put
forward for the moment.
