The mission of the Web Payments and Commerce Accessibility Community
Group
(Payments A11Y CG) is to provide an ongoing forum for the evaluation and
articulation of comprehensive support for accessibility to people with
disabilities in W3C web payments and commerce-related specifications and
technical documents. These specifications are generally developed by the
Web Payments Working Group .
The Payments and Commerce A11Y CG will track developments in, and work
collaboratively with the various groups in W3C's Web Payments Activity
, and most particularly with the Web Payments Interest Group
The Payments and Commerce A11Y CG will develop and document use cases
and requirements to support accessibility in web payments and web
commerce across all known scenarios that encompass the widely varying
technologies and human abilities utilized by persons living with
physical, cognitive, and sensory disabilities to be submitted to the
Accessible Platform Architectures (APA) Working Group for consideration
as a potential W3C Note,
"Payments Accessibility User Requirements (PAUR)", as well as other
relevant web commerce considerations where persons with disabilities
could be impacted.
The Payments and Commerce A11Y CG shall additionally advise APA on
payments-related specifications and technical documents being developed
by W3C groups to assist APA in its chartered horizontal review
responsibility.
