What we are not doing is reaching mutually agreeable solutions with WAI that fulfill the charter’s accessibility mandate. We need to figure out how to do that efficiently. The procedure document is an attempt. > Specifically: > > Can we get a commitment from members of the WAI… > Can the WAI commit to approaching accessibility issues… > Could the WAI respond to my e-mails, such as these?... I am not a member of WAI. I can not speak for them. WAI's mission statement is at http://www.w3.org/WAI/about-links.html. I know you are backlogged, Ian. I assume PF is too because other requests have taken a while for them to respond [1]. For example, we are currently waiting for a response to a September 23, 2008 request for PFWG WAI to review multimedia accessibility requirements of <audio> <video>. So it may take some time.
