Colleagues:


This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to the Accessible Platform Architectures (APA) Working Group proposing publication of the Accessibility Maturity Model (AMM) as a Note.


* The snapshot to review for this CfC is here:

* The W3C Accessibility Maturity Model was developed by our Maturity Model Task Force over several years. It's FPWD was published in September 2022, and we published a second wide review draft in August 2025. MMTF's resolution requesting publication of the above snapshot version as an APA Note is recorded here:

Please note the above snapshot will look slightly different when published. The Status of this Document section will be updated, and the document will display with different colorization to reflect the document's published Note status.


As always with APA 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.
