Colleagues:
The CfC below is confirmed as a consensus decision of the PFWG inasmuch as we have significant support for it beginning at:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2015Jun/0162.html
We note that one of those messages also included comments on the current

processing procedures by the D-Pub ARIA Task Force:
