Subject: Request from the HTML-A11Y Task Force RE Bug 13176 Escalation

Dear Benjamin:

On behalf of the HTML-A11Y Task Force,  I am asking you to please retract your escalation request on this bug at this time:

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13176

We are actively working this issue via the Task Force and the Working Group at this time. The most recent activity and next-steps on this and related canvas concerns is documented in last week's minutes from both groups' teleconference meetings:

http://www.w3.org/2011/10/13-html-wg-minutes.html
http://www.w3.org/2011/10/13-html-a11y-minutes.html

Please note that there is no objection to the substance of your concern.
The TF agrees that this is a Priority 1 bug that has not received appropriate attention. Rather, our concern is logistical.

We're actively working to address several specific concerns, including those raised by one of the HTML WG Co-Chairs who has worked with us on this issue.

Critically, this particular 30-day period is a poor time to enter into the decision policy mandated calendar of proposals and counter proposals your issue escalation sets in play. It's simply not feasible to meet those escalation requirements given that we are still waiting for key feedback, and given that the TPAC and other travel lies in the middle of this 30-day period for our key canvas technology people.

I would be happy to discuss this request with you further, by phone or in email. Please give it your urgent consideration, and let me know at your earliest convenience. Thanks.

Janina
