# Wide Review

We most recently presented this document at the AC meeting in 2024 and had generally good feedback there. 

A11Y request: https://github.com/w3c/a11y-request/issues/75#issuecomment-2126782306 

I18N request feedback: https://github.com/w3ctag/ethical-web-principles/issues/116 - we resolved with [PR 119](https://github.com/w3ctag/ethical-web-principles/pull/119).

PING feedback: the PING group did raise an issue https://github.com/w3ctag/ethical-web-principles/issues/94 however the TAG agreed that the issue had been dealt with in the existing tech https://github.com/w3ctag/ethical-web-principles/issues/94#issuecomment-1661896067 and while some discussion on this point continued, we agreed to put it on thee back burner for now. 

As noted in the acknowledgements section, this document has had review from tech ethicists as well people in the community. We reached out to civil society and advocacy groups, as well as regulators (though the latter often cannot comment officially) and communicated about it on social media. The UN Office of the High Commissioner  on Human Rights mentioned our document in their presentation to the Advisory Committee, noting it as an example of “growing awareness among SSOs and those active in standard-setting processes of the importance of human rights”. https://www.w3.org/2024/Talks/ac-slides/human-rights/OHCHR.pdf It was also highlighted in the report from the same office on “Human rights and technical standard-setting processes…” https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/4031373 also quoted the Ethical Web Principles as an example of “growing awareness of the importance of human rights among standard-setting organizations.” The document has been reference in the W3C Vision doc as well as the Ethical Principles for Web Machine Learning  https://www.w3.org/TR/webmachinelearning-ethics/ issued by the Machine Learning Working Group, among other references.
