Dear WAI Interest Group, We expect to publish Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 as a “W3C Recommendation” web standard in 2023. We are addressing new comments that we received in August 2023. Depending how that goes, the final publication could be in September or later in 2023. For the latest information on WCAG 2.2, please see: What's New in WCAG 2.2 - Status, Timeline, Changes https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/new-in-22/#status-timeline-changes We will update information on that page as soon as we reach consensus and have more specific information on the expected final publication date.

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.
