Dear WAI Interest Group,

W3C WAI invites you to review the updated Working Draft of WCAG 2.2 at:
 https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/
This Working Draft is ready for wide review before finalizing WCAG 2.2.

The WCAG 2.2 draft includes 9 new success criteria since WCAG 2.1. They are introduced in:

 https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/new-in-22/

We have addressed comments on the previous draft. Updates since the previous Working Draft include:
* Accessible authentication: Incorporates concepts of ‘steps’ to account for multi-factor authentication, and explicitly allows for ‘mechanisms’ like password managers.
* Dragging movement: A very minor wording update.
* Consistent help: Renamed from “Findable help”, and follows the ‘consistent navigation’ criterion more closely.
* Page Break Navigation: Renamed, the criterion text is reduced to focus on content which already implements programmatic page break locators.
* Focus appearance (minimum): Restructured the criterion text, whilst keeping the requirement essentially the same.
* Focus appearance (enhanced): Aligned with the minimum version.
* Visible control: Renamed (from Hidden controls), added several exceptions.
* Target size (minimum): Renamed (from Pointer target Spacing), reduced the core size requirement to 24px, and simplified the criterion text.
* Redundant entry: Removed the ‘steps in a process’ aspect, added a within-session scope, and added several exceptions.
