  http://www.w3.org/community/global-inclusion/

This group was originally proposed on 2024-03-14
by Lisa Seeman-Horwitz. The following people supported its
creation: 
      Lisa Seeman-Horwitz
      Leandro S. Guedes
      Jan McSorley
      Rachael Bradley Montgomery

Please note that supporting a group is different from joining
a group. Supporters must also enroll if they wish to participate.

--------------------
The mission of the Accessibility Internationalization Community Group is
to improve the internationalization of:
-The Cognitive and Learning Disabilities Accessibility (COGA) Task Force
-The Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (AG) 


Scope
The Accessibility Internationalization Community Group will include the
following efforts:
-Improve the internationalization of COGA  and AG publications.
-Develop criteria and tests for easy-to-understand language in different
languages.
-Develop criteria and tests for text appearance and semantics in
different writing systems
-Develop criteria and tests for additional guidance that changes based
on additional language, writing system, or culture. 

The community group’s initial focus is to help internationalize two
accessibility resources that are currently in development:
-The next version of Making Content Usable for People with Cognitive and
Learning Disabilities  
-WCAG 3.0, with two guidelines as the top priorities: “Clear Language”
and “Text Appearance and Semantics,” which will have tests and criteria
in different languages.
