Dear WAI Interest Group Participants,

WAI invites you to comment on the First Public Working Draft of "Mobile
Accessibility: How WCAG 2.0 and Other W3C/WAI Guidelines Apply to Mobile"
at:
        http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-accessibility-mapping

This document describes how WCAG 2.0 principles, guidelines, and success
criteria apply to mobile web content, mobile web apps, native apps, and
hybrid apps using web components inside native apps. It provides guidance
on mobile accessibility issues --such as small screen size, touch target
size, zoom, gestures-- and how they relate to WCAG 2.0. It links to a list
of existing WCAG Techniques that apply to mobile. The document also
highlights the relevance of UAAG 2.0 and ATAG 2.0 in the mobile context,
and links to UAAG 2.0 mobile accessibility examples.

This document provides informative guidance, and does not set requirements.
It may become a W3C Working Group Note, or the information may be
integrated into WCAG Techniques and Understanding WCAG. (It will not impact
WCAG 2.0 itself; WCAG 2.0 is a stable standard that does not change.)

Comments:
Specific questions that we particularly seek feedback on are listed in the
Status section at: <http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-accessibility-mapping/#sotd>
We welcome comments *by 26 March 2015* to the publicly-archived mailing
list:
        public-mobile-a11y-tf@w3.org
or through Github:
        https://github.com/w3c/Mobile-A11y-TF-Note/

Background:
W3C WAI's broader work related to mobile accessibility is introduced in a
overview of Mobile Accessibility at: <http://www.w3.org/WAI/mobile/>
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is introduced in the overview
at: <http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/wcag>
User Agent Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG) is introduced in the overview

This document is developed by the Mobile Accessibility Task Force
(Mobile-A11y TF), a joint task force of the WCAG Working Group and the UAAG
Working Group. The Task Force assists these Working Groups to produce
techniques, understanding, and guidance documents, as well as updates to
existing W3C material that addresses the mobile space. Additional
information on the Mobile-A11y TF is available from: <
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/>
