Colleagues: Now that the Director has issued a decision on the Formal Objection filed against our HTML Image Description Extension specification currently in Candidate Recommendation (CR) status, that objection no longer serves as a block against progress for this specification. Progress has been held pending a Director decision as per: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2014Sep/0024.html The Director's decision is available at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2014Oct/0113.html This is, therefore, a Task Force decision on the Call For Consensus (CfC) to transition this specification to Proposed Recommendation (PR) status as published at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2014Sep/0012.html The Task Force Facilitators note that 3 of the 4 objections received to our CfC came from the company filing the FO against this specification. We further note that the remaining objector also did not raise issues not covered by the Director's decision. Thus, with multiple messages of support for progressing this specification and a formal disposition of objections against it, this CfC as agreed as an HTML-A11Y Task Force consensus. The chairs of the HTML and PF Working Groups are hereby requested to conduct their individual Calls for Consensus to transition this specification to Proposed Recommendation (PR) Status. The Proposed Recommendation (PR) draft is available at: http://www.w3.org/2014/09/04-PR-html-longdesc/ Our Implementation Report for this specification showing that it meets W3C recommendation requirements is available at: http://w3c.github.io/test-results/html-longdesc/cr-report.html Janina Sajka, For the HTML-A11Y Task Force Co-Facilitators -- Janina Sajka, Phone: +1.443.300.2200 sip:janina@asterisk.rednote.net Email: janina@rednote.net Linux Foundation Fellow Executive Chair, Accessibility Workgroup: http://a11y.org The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Chair, Protocols & Formats http://www.w3.org/wai/pf Indie UI http://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/
