Since we did not receive any objections to this CfC, this CfC passes.



Noting that the CfC on this matter also passed in the PF WG [1], this document will now be published as a WG Note.

Subject: CfC: Publish Techniques for providing useful text alternatives document as a WG Note


The HTML Chairs are issuing a Call for Consensus to publish the "Techniques for providing useful text alternatives" document as a WG Note.



The candidate WG Note document can be found here:



     http://www.w3.org/2015/03/alt-draft.html



The A11Y TF has approved this publication.  See:

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2015Apr/0062.html

The PF WG is doing a CfC in parallel to this one in the HTML WG.



Silence will be taken to mean there is no objection, but positive responses are encouraged. If there are no objections by Thursday April 30, this resolution will carry.
