    Colleagues:

    This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to the Accessible Platform
    Architectures (APA) Working Group proposing  an update to our recent
    consensus decision (reproduced below) to return our 2019 Note:
    "Inaccessibility of CAPTCHA," to further development as a First Public
    Working Draft (FPWD).

    Rather than simply republish our 2019 Note, our Research Questions Task
    Force (RQTF) requests we publish a slightly updated version as noted
    below. RQTF's resolution requesting this change is recorded here:

    https://www.w3.org/2021/12/01-rqtf-minutes.html#r01


    Only two changes have been made to the 2019 Note, but RQTF considers
    them particularly valuable enhancements to be highlighted for immediate wide review:

    *       A brief economic impact is provided noting an estimate of the
    *       hours wasted annually by people dealing with CAPTCHA challenges.

    *       A new section has been added where a proposal has been put
    *       forward to use the W3C Authentication API to obviate any need
    *       for CAPTCHA. That added section can be found here:

    https://raw.githack.com/w3c/captcha-accessibility/05bdd8c0d8b8a89860aca3a149c53ea4d7998a11/index.html#cryptographic-attestation-of-personhood


    No other changes to our previous decision are suggested by this CfC. Our
    former consensus decision would stand as reproduced below and recorded at:

    https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-apa-admin/2021Nov/0012.html


    The updated  draft we now propose to publish as a First Public Working
    Draft (FPWD) is available here:

    https://raw.githack.com/w3c/captcha-accessibility/05bdd8c0d8b8a89860aca3a149c53ea4d7998a11/index.html


    As always with our CfCs, editorial corrections, such as spelling or
    grammar,  will be made as needed without further notice.  Please do draw
    our attention to any editorial issues you find in this draft.

    ***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, Monday 6 December.

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