WCAG 2.2 final web standard expected in August 2023

Dear WAI Interest Group,

We expect to publish Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 as a 'W3C Recommendation' web standard in August 2023. For up-to-date information, see:
 What's New in WCAG 2.2
 https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/new-in-22/

Today we entered the W3C 'Proposed Recommendation' stage with the WCAG 2.2 publication at:
 https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/

Proposed Recommendation means that W3C accepted it and W3C Members vote on publishing the document as a 'W3C Recommendation' web standard. The voting ends on 19 August. WCAG 2.2 might be ready to publish soon after that, or additional W3C Member input could require more work. More about the process for completing WCAG 2.2 is in:
