Betreff: 48-Hour Call for Consensus (CfC): New COGA Document FPWD

Colleagues:

This is a request from the Cognitive and Learning Disabilities (COGA) Task
Force to both of COGA's parent WAI Working Groups, the Accessible Platform
Architectures (APA) Working Group, and the Accessible Guidelines (AG)
Working Group.
 
This CfC seeks consensus to split the existing COGA Gap Analysis Working
Draft publication into two separate note-track documents.
 
As work on the existing Gap Analysis document has progressed, what began as
an Appendix has grown in import and size to the extent that COGA now
believes our target audience for these documents is better served by two
separate documents rather than a single document. That is the basis for this
CfC.
 
If this Call for Consensus fails, no change will result.
 
If the Call for Consensus is approved:
 
1. The existing COGA Gap Analysis document will be split into two separate
note track documents as follows:

- Gap Analysis
https://w3c.github.io/coga/gap-analysis/ 
 
- A First Public Working Draft (FPWD) of "Making content usable for people
with cognitive and learning disabilities" will be authorized: 
https://w3c.github.io/coga/content-usable/ 
 
2. Standing permission for COGA to publish updated working drafts will be
authorized for both documents.
 
Please note that there is a 'Design Themes' section in the new document
which has links to a third document. There is still discussion about the
name and optimal disposition of that third document. Whether or not it
eventually becomes an additional note track document is not part of this
CfC. 

ACTION TO TAKE
 
This CfC is now open for objection, comment, as well as statements of
support via email. Silence will be interpreted as support, though messages
of support are certainly welcome.
 
If you object to this proposed action, or have comments concerning this
proposal, please respond by replying on list to this message no later than
23:59 (Midnight) Boston Time, Tuesday 4 December.
 
IMPORTANT: If you are a member of both AG and APA you should vote on both
CfCs. AG and APA need to determine whether a consensus exists independently
of each other.
 
Thanking you for your attention on this question,
 
Alastair Campbell
AG Co-Chair
 
Janina Sajka
APA Chair
