The WG encourages users to find the configurations that work best for them in accessing these links. Note that while we remove links that no longer point to existing web pages, there is not a commitment to continue to update links to newer versions of tools, documentation, etc. Loretta Guarino Reid, WCAG WG Co-Chair Gregg Vanderheiden, WCAG WG Co-Chair Michael Cooper, WCAG WG Staff Contact On behalf of the WCAG Working Group
