> APA in our horizontal review responsibilities is available here:

> For a time this work was migrated to the Accessibility Guidelines 
> Working Group (AGWG) for further development as a component of Silver, 
> the anticipated next generation Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 
> (WCAG).  It is now proposed to return the work to APA.
