    Dear WAI Interest Group Participants,
    
    The Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (AG WG) has published an 
    updated Working Draft of Accessibility Conformance Testing (ACT) Rules 
    Format 1.0:
         https://www.w3.org/TR/act-rules-format/

    
    *Changes*
    This updated working draft of Accessibility Conformance Testing (ACT) 
    Rules Format 1.0 addresses all comments received on the previous draft. 
    Most importantly, the "Selector" approach was replaced with 
    "Applicability" and "Expectation" pairs, to make ACT Rules less 
    procedural. This updated draft is accompanied by sample ACT Rules that 
    implement this rules format:
         https://w3c.github.io/wcag-act-rules/

    
    *Background*
    The Accessibility Conformance Testing (ACT) Rules Format 1.0 specifies a 
    common format for accessibility test rules, and how to write test 
    procedures for quality assurance. It facilitates harmonization of 
    accessibility testing approaches, and helps organizations to better 
    document and share their testing methods. It primarily addresses 
    developers of automated and semi-automated evaluation tools, and also 
    supports manual evaluation procedures.
    
    *Comments*
    To comment, the Working Group requests input be filed as GitHub issues at:
         https://github.com/w3c/wcag-act/issues/
    
    Please create new issues for your comments, putting each separate topic 
    into a separate issue. If it is not feasible for you to file issues in 
    this tool, you can also submit comments by email to:
         public-wcag-act-comments@w3.org
    
    The Working Group requests comments on this draft be filed by 5 April 2018.
    
    Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for 
    your comments.
