FW: Call for Review: Updated WCAG 2.0 Working Draft

All, 

We should look at these documents.  We did make comments before, which I
think were pretty much all accepted. See
http://www.w3.org/International/reviews/

I'll forward the responses to the list.

PS: Felix, we seem to have multiple entries in the table for these
documents. I assume we should just delete the duplicates.  Tell me if I'm
missing something.

Subject: Call for Review: Updated WCAG 2.0 Working Draft


Dear All, for your interest:

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (WCAG WG) invites you
to comment on an updated draft of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
2.0 (WCAG 2.0), published on 17 May 2007. WCAG 2.0 addresses accessibility
of Web content for people with disabilities.

The updated WCAG 2.0 Public Working Draft incorporates changes in response
to comments received on the 27 April 2006 WCAG 2.0 Last Call Working Draft. 
Because there were a number of substantive changes, WCAG 2.0 has returned to
Public Working Draft status. We expect to advance WCAG 2.0 to a second Last
Call Working Draft after this Public Working Draft.

W3C/WAI encourages you to review this document and submit comments on any
issues which you feel could present a barrier to adoption and implementation
of WCAG 2.0. The Working Group seeks feedback on the following points for
this draft:

         - Are the guidelines and success criteria clear? If not, can you
suggest clearer wording?
         - Are there any success criteria that you feel are not
implementable or testable? If so, how could they be improved?
         - Are there any success criteria that you feel would not improve
accessibility as written, or that might hinder it?  If so, how could they be
improved?

Comments on this Working Draft are due by 29 June 2007. The Working Group
requests that comments be made using the online or downloadable comment form
available at
         http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/comments/
If this is not possible, comments can also be sent to
public-comments-wcag20@w3.org . The archives for this list are publicly
available. (Please note that if you submitted comments during the 2006 Last
Call Working Draft review period, you will be receiving an email with a
response to your individual comments.)
