Fwd: Re: CfC: Accessibility Conformance Testing Task Force

Dear auto-WCAG,

The WCAG Working Group has approved the creation of the Accessibility 
Conformance Testing (ACT) Task Force, as proposed. This Task Force will 
focus on the specification part of the testing work, while this open 
auto-WCAG Community Group will continue to develop test rules according 
to this specification to be developed.

Participation in the new ACT TF will require formally joining the WCAG 
WG, though regular participation in the main WCAG WG is not necessary. 
More guidance on joining ACT TF will follow when it is launched in the 
coming weeks. If you are interested in participating in ACT TF, please 
make sure to fully read the ACT TF Work Statement:
  - https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/task-forces/conformance-testing/work-statement

More information will follow soon.

Best,
   Shadi

WCAGers,
As we have received only positive feedback leading up to this CfC and no 
negative responses during it, this CfC is agreed on as a consensus 
opinion of the working group.

This decision is recorded at https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Decisions

Thanks,

CALL FOR CONSENSUS – ends Thursday August 11 at 4:45pm Boston time.

This is a call for consensus on a proposed Task Force for Accessibility 
Conformance Testing.  The creation of a new task force on this topic was 
discussed on the WG call, and approved 
(http://www.w3.org/2016/08/09-wai-wcag-minutes.html#item02).

The Work Statement for the new TF is here: 
https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/task-forces/conformance-testing/work-statement.

If you have concerns about this proposed consensus position that have 
not been discussed already and feel that those concerns result in you 
“not being able to live with” this position, please let the group know 
before the CfC deadline.

Thanks,
AWK
