Hello Everyone, As of today, January 15, 2011 fifty Pre-Last Call accessibility task force (a11ytf) bugs exist which have not been escalated to the HTML Tracker or marked "verified" or marked "closed". A detailed snapshot of these 50 bugs is at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs/SnapshotPLC1_20110115 Please check the snapshot for bugs that you may have reported and for bugs that may have been have been assigned to you. Please close bugs that are satisfactorily resolved. Those not satisfactorily resolved can be escalated to an issue. This will enable the full HTML Working Group the ability to address the problem and the HTML Chairs the ability to make a decision. January 22, 2011, one week from today, is the deadline for escalating Pre-Last Call bugs to a HTML WG Issue if the reporter, or the task force, or any individual working group member for that matter, is not satisfied with the editor's resolution. For details on escalating a Bug to an Issue please refer to the instructions at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF/HTML/wiki/Bugs/Escalating_a_Bug_to_an_Issue Consequences of missing the January 22 deadline is that any further escalations will be treated as Last Call comments. http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/LastCallTimeline Since the last week's report we have had: 2 WONTFIX bugs.
