Colleagues: The PFWG conducted a CfC regarding the HTML-A11Y Task Force's proposed plan to publish its HTML Image Description extension specification as a stand-alone W3C recommendation: One comment in opposition, and one abstention were recorded on this CfC. In addition the regular weekly PFWG teleconference recorded the following resolution regarding this CfC without objection as logged at: https://www.w3.org/2014/01/29-pf-minutes.html#item07 RESOLUTION: PFWG supports publishing the HTML Image Description extension specification as an independent specification. A publically referenceable extract from the above minutes can be found at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/wai-xtech/2014Jan/0030.html This CfC passes.
