Colleagues: This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to the Protocols and Formats Working Group (PFWG) requesting approval to advance the HTML 5 Image Description Extension specification to Proposed Recommendation (PR status. The PR draft is available at: http://www.w3.org/2014/09/04-PR-html-longdesc/ An Implementation Report for this specification showing that it meets W3C recommendation requirements is available at: http://w3c.github.io/test-results/html-longdesc/cr-report.html Edits to the CR draft of this specification were made in response to implementer comments received during CR, and are documented at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2014Sep/0000.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2014Sep/0011.html A concurrent CfC will be ongoing in the HTML-WG. Progress concluding the CR process on this specification was delayed pending the Director's decision as per: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2014Sep/0024.html Now that the Director has issued a decision on the Formal Objection filed against this specification, that objection no longer serves as a block against progress for this specification. The Director's decision is available at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2014Oct/0113.html The HTML-A11Y Task Force has concluded its CfC on this question favorably as documented at: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html ACTION TO TAKE According to agreed PFWG Consensus Procedures, this CfC is now open for objection, comment, as well as statements of support via email. Silence will be interpreted as support, though messages of support are certainly welcome. If you object to this proposed action, or have comments concerning this proposal, please respond by replying on list to this message no later than 23:59 PM (Midnight) Boston Time, Thursday 6 November. Please note that any objections based on points covered by the Director's decision will be ignored. Anyone with complaints against the Director's decision should, rather, direct their comments to the Director's office directly.
