Subject: CfC: Request transition of Image Description to Candidate
Recommendation

 

In accordance with both the W3C process's requirement to record the group's
decision to request advancement [1] and with the steps identified in the
"Plan 2014" CfC [2], this is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to request
transition to Candidate Recommendation for the following Image Description
extension specification:
 
 
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/html-proposals/raw-file/217e6b995ac9/longdesc1/longde
sc.html 
 
The A11Y TF has approved the transition of this document to CR status and
requested both the HTML WG and the PF WG to approve the transition.  See:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-admin/2014Jul/0046.html
 
Silence will be taken to mean there is no objection, but positive responses
are encouraged. If there are no objections by Fri Aug 1, this resolution
will carry.
 
Considerations to note:
 
- A request to advance indicates that the Working Group believes the
specification is stable and appropriate for implementation.
- The specification MAY still change based on implementation experience.
