At our regular HTML-A11Y Teleconference on Thursday 22 April: http://www.w3.org/2010/04/22-html-a11y-minutes.html I was requested to draft and circulate resolution language implementing our consensus guidance to the HTML-WG regarding ISSUE-31 "Missing Alt," as reflected in our WBS at: http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/44061/20040422_text-alt/results This email provides this draft and serves as our Call for Consensus on this question. Please expect a vote on the resolution at our upcoming teleconference on Thursday 29 April. Suggested edits, objections, additional comments, and votes by Task Force members unable to attend the Thursday teleconference may be logged by responding to this message before our Thursday teleconference (at 15:00 UTC). Candidate Resolution RESOLUTION: The HTML-A11Y Task Force supports the change proposal at http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ChangeProposals/ImgElement20090126to implement WAI Consensus Guidance that a missing text alternative should be an error in conformance checkers. We expect the error text will reference additional guidance on text alternatives in WCAG support materials. -- Janina Sajka, Phone: +1.443.300.2200 sip:janina@asterisk.rednote.net Chair, Open Accessibility janina@a11y.org Linux Foundation http://a11y.org Chair, Protocols & Formats Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/wai/pf World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
