Hi Folks
We would like to publish a first working draft of some of our issue papers to be able to gather feedback. They are not final versions and we know further work is required.
Before publishing the first working drafts we will try to update the language on how we refer to our users, make citations consistent with the W3C style guide, and similar editorial work.

On Monday's call we agreed to do this CFC (call for consensus)  by email within a week to look for major issues, to give people a chance to say if they see anything that should delay a first working draft. Small editorial changes are not reasons to object unless they are offencive.  (Although you can add comments to the drafts below if you see minor changes that are not objections.)

Please respond with

  *   +1 to go ahead and publish the below papers as a first working draft
  *   0 if you do not object to moving ahead with  publishing the below papers as a first working draft
  *   -1 if you object. If you do object, also give your reasons.

Please respond by the end of day on Wednesday the 6th of August 2025.If you do not responded with in that time we will take it as agreement with this CFC.

The drafts are

  *    Voice Systems and Conversational interfaces<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B1vCqlU1IF5UmqxhJAy8Khdi-kRQNPalVX8f3lCMr7w/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.ygyjqiz5veyw>
  *   Wayfinding and indore navigation<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TDtuC_iMyS_X6nXwyEEAu4Abp2tXHb86/edit>

I will also add the introduction to the papers <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r2q_QQJEva8xb44BnTiFcczXNMN9N7jHQeOKd0KrqJY/edit?tab=t.0>  with minor editorial changes. It will replace the current text of our  issue papers older draft<https://w3c.github.io/coga/issue-papers/>:
