Dear Helle, Alistair, All, Not quite yet... The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 has been submitted to ISO under the PAS process. It is currently on status "40.99" which means that the ballot has succeeded and it is ready for publication as an ISO standard. However, we are not there quite yet and there are a few issues that need to be resolved and steps to be completed. When done, WCAG 2.0 will have the ISO number 40500. It will not change through this process and it will continue to be freely available through the W3C website. Future changes, errata, and translations will also continue to be managed through W3C/WAI. We hope that an ISO number will help make WCAG 2.0 more referenceable in some jurisdictions. This recognition of WCAG 2.0 by ISO should not impact other technical work in W3C/WAI such as the current work on WCAG-EM. Here is the link to the related ISO website: - <http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=58625> Please let us know if you have further questions.
