Betreff: 48-Hour Call for Consensus (CfC): Publish CAPTCHA Wide Review

Colleagues:

This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to the Accessible Platform Architectures
(APA) Working Group seeking consensus to publish the "Inaccessibility of
CAPTCHA" document for a second, and we hope final, wide review.

Yes, this is indeed our second attempt to publish a second wide review draft
of our CAPTCHA document. Many of you carefully read a draft in May that
regretably went awry. Details here:

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rqtf/2019Jun/0001.html

The draft to review for this CfC is here:

https://raw.githack.com/w3c/apa/e3c61aecfbd87782e31d38b1867dc94dc4478c42/cap
tcha/index.html

***Background Info***

As was true  in our previous CfC, and is yet more so now, this draft has
undergone yet more revision since our first wide review was published early
this calendar year. We received numerous excellent comments all of which we
believe we have now addressed. Of course, the additional comments received
required our Research Questions Task Force to think even more deeply about
the meaning and current implementations of CAPTCHA Turing Tests. Thanks to
the many individuals who have provided substantive and editorial assistance
in this effort.  If your name isn't listed, please advise--because we intend
to thank you formally in the publication.

Just in the past few weeks we've actually responded to several additional
comments and further edited our draft, so it's probably good our earlier
publication attempt was delayed. We do believe we are truly ready at long
last to proceed!

Summaries of changes in the past month are available in the following to
messages in the RQTF email archive:

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rqtf/2019Jun/0042.html
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rqtf/2019Jun/0050.html

Please note that no substantive nor editorial changes will be applied during
the CfC to the above URI. However, editorial work is likely to continue on
the Editor's Draft which can be found here:

https://w3c.github.io/apa/captcha/

***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.

We particularly welcome questions and suggested edits, though this could
delay publication. It's important we get this draft right.

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, Sunday 23 June.

NOTE: This Call for Consensus is being conducted in accordance with the APA
Decision Policy published at:

http://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/decision-policy

Thanks again to everyone who's worked to update this important document.

Janina
