Congratulations folks. The director approved the guidelines as a Proposed Recommendation. The W3C members have now been asked to advise the director on what to do with them (Make them a Recommendation, work on them some more first, drop the whole activity). Over the next four weeks Member organisations will give their advice (like in Last Call, and in other ballots, most are likely to come at the end of the review period, allowing the members to read the guidelines and think carefully about them.) Member comments can be made privately or publicly. In four weeks time the working group may be asked to answer questions or address issues raised by the member review. In the meantime, it would be good to improve the techniques document, expand our knowledge of existing tools and update the evaluations that we did against last call and earlier drafts. Congratulations and thanks to everybody for the hard work that got us this far, with what I believe is a very good document. Please hang in there for the last hurrah - we won't know what that will be like until the review is over in four weeks, at the earliest. And for those who wonder "what have we wrought?", the Proposed Recommendation draft is at http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/PR-WAI-AUTOOLS-19991026 with techniques at http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/WD-WAI-AUTOOLS-TECHS-19991026 cheers Charles McCN --Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +1 617 258 0992 http://www.w3.org/People/Charles W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI MIT/LCS - 545 Technology sq., Cambridge MA, 02139, USA
