Decision on CfC: Publish Second CAPTCHA Wide Review Draft

Colleagues:

Multiple messages in support of this CfC have been received and one message opposing it. Given an overwhelming preponderance supporting publication, this CfC iss therefore
agreed to as a consensus decision of APA, and our document will now move to
publication for a second wide review.

The head of thread for this CfC can be found at:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa-admin/2019May/0000.html

The message in opposition expressed the opinion that this document does
not address "... the coga use cases well enough for wide review." This
dissent to the CfC is archived here:

Best,
