PFWG Decision on CfC: Advance Longdesc to CR

Colleagues:

PFWG has received no objections, and multiple messages of support to the
CfC below, all available in the thread beginning at:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2014Jul/0053.html

This CfC is, therefore, approved as a decision of the PFWG.

Regards,

Janina
