> Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
> [This announcement will be forwarded to W3C group chairs]
> 
> It is my pleasure to announce that Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA) 1.2 is now a W3C Recommendation:
>   https://www.w3.org/TR/2023/REC-wai-aria-1.2-20230606/
> 
> Accessibility of web content requires semantic information about widgets, structures, and behaviors, in order to allow assistive technologies to convey appropriate information to persons with disabilities. This specification provides an ontology of roles, states, and properties that define accessible user interface elements and can be used to improve the accessibility and interoperability of web content and applications. These semantics are designed to allow an author to properly convey user interface behaviors and structural information to assistive technologies in document-level markup. This version adds features new since WAI-ARIA 1.1 [wai-aria-1.1] to improve interoperability with assistive technologies to form a more consistent accessibility model for [HTML] and [SVG2]. This specification complements both [HTML] and [SVG2].
> 
> This document is part of the WAI-ARIA suite described in the WAI-ARIA Overview.
> 
> All Members who responded to the Call for Review [1] of the Proposed Recommendation showed support. One member suggested changes but supports publication of the specification whether or not the changes are adopted. Several reviewers indicated that they produce or expect to produce products that use this specification.
> 
> Please join us in congratulating the W3C Accessible Rich Internet Applications Working Group [2] on this achievement.
> 
> This announcement follows section 5.7.2 of the W3C Process Document:
