Re: Anything for a possible 2.2?

Hi Jim and all,

I suspect  that the most of the list of items we have for Silver would
not be accepted in a  2.2. I'm not sure about printing.

The Icon Font Draft is written and in the Wiki at:
https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Providing_a_Semantically_Identified_Icon_Font_with_role%3Dimg

If anyone wants to port it over to GitHub, the placeholder is at:
https://github.com/w3c/wcag/blob/tech-icon-font-img-role/techniques/aria/icon-font-img-role.html

Kindest Regards,
Laura
