FYI: AG WG Charter Review – Internationalization-related accessibility concerns submitted

Hello,

I would like to share, for awareness, that I have submitted a response to
the AG WG charter review questionnaire raising concerns about how
internationalization-related accessibility defects are addressed in the
proposed charter.  All  responses  (including mine) are available at
https://www.w3.org/wbs/35422/charter-2026/results/

In particular, my response focus on:
- treating internationalization-related accessibility issues as normative
rather than editorial,
- ensuring that findings from Internationalization Working Group review can
result in normative resolutions, and
- clarifying that such issues are not deferred or treated as out of scope
during WCAG 2 maintenance or WCAG 3 development.

No action is requested at this time; I am sharing this simply so that the
I18N WG is aware that these concerns have been formally raised during the
charter review process.

Best regards,
Makoto
