Hello,
With this charter review notice, the W3C Team initiates refinement for a
draft Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines Working Group charter:
https://w3c.github.io/charter-drafts/2026/atag-wg.html
The mission of the Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines Working Group
(ATAG WG) is to produce guidelines for the development of authoring
tools that are accessible to authors with disabilities and enable the
creation of accessible content for end users.
We encourage early discussion of this draft charter in this public forum:
https://github.com/w3c/strategy/issues/552
W3C Members may discuss on the member-confidential mailing list
<w3c-ac-forum@w3.org>.
Section 4.2 of the Process Document [1] describes activities during
charter refinement and the role of the Chartering Facilitator to seek
consensus among those who provide feedback about the charter.
The W3C Team estimates that this charter refinement will last until
approximately 2026-07-03. Check the Strategy issue for notices of extension.
If you should have any questions or need further information, please
feel free to contact the Chartering Facilitator, Kevin White <kevin@w3.org>.
This announcement follows section 4.1 of the Process Document:
