Thanks! -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Call for Review: Final Draft of WCAG2ICT - Guidance on Applying WCAG 2.0 to Non-Web ICT Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2013 11:34:44 -0500 From: Shawn Henry <shawn@w3.org> To: WAI Interest Group <w3c-wai-ig@w3.org> Dear WAI Interest Group, WAI invites you to comment on the completed Working Draft of Guidance on Applying WCAG 2.0 to Non-Web Information and Communications Technologies (WCAG2ICT) that is available at: http://www.w3.org/TR/wcag2ict/ After the comments from this review period are addressed, WAI expects to publish this as a W3C Working Group Note. (Notes are explained at <http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr#WGNote>.) About this document: This draft document provides guidance on how Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 can be applied to non-web information and communications technologies (ICT), specifically documents and software. It does not discuss whether or not WCAG 2.0 should be applied to non-Web ICT. It is an informative supporting document for WCAG 2.0. It is not normative, does not set requirements, and does not change the scope of WCAG 2.0 itself. This document includes existing wording from WCAG 2.0 -- the principles, guidelines, success criteria -- and the Intent sections from Understanding WCAG 2.0. It provides additional guidance on applying each success criteria to non-Web documents and software. Review: Please send comments on this draft to the publicly-archived mailing list: public-wcag2ict-comments@w3.org *by 15 August 2013* About the related documents: * The focus of this review is the Additional Guidance sections (not the wording taken from other documents). * Understanding WCAG 2.0 is being updated. It will continue to focus on web technologies and not be changed to specifically address non-web ICT. * WCAG 2.0 itself is a stable Web Standard that will not change. * If you have comments on the wording taken from WCAG 2.0 or Understanding WCAG 2.0, please read the Instructions for Commenting on WCAG 2.0 Documents at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/comments/ About the URI: The first URI in this e-mail goes to the latest version of the document.
