Re: CFC: Go to CR with ACT Rules Format

+1

A few editorial suggestions:

A few sentences before Example 10: “Even concepts like headings and images can be misunderstood. For example, describing that the rule examines the tag name, the accessibility role, or the element’s purpose on the web page.” (Incomplete sentence)

Example 11: both are numbered Atomic Rule1.

First paragraph under 11.1:
Unlike in applicability, a certain level of subjectivity is allowed in expectations. Meaning that the expectation has only one possible meaning, but that meaning MAY not fully quantifiable. (Combine these?)


Thanks,

Hey everyone,

We've closed a ton of issues over the past few weeks, and our Github issues list is now free of any issues that could mean changes to the requirements in the ACT Rules Format (there is still some editorial work in there though).

With this Call For Consensus we'd like to ask the ACT Task Force to approve sharing the editor's draft and the proposed exit criteria with the AG Working Group, and to ask them for approval to go into Candidate Recommendation.

You can find the editor draft here:
  https://w3c.github.io/wcag-act/act-rules-format.html<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fw3c.github.io%2Fwcag-act%2Fact-rules-format.html&data=02%7C01%7Ceng%40access-board.gov%7C5b6d20d87a9e4d212b5f08d632c0c0b6%7Cfc6093f5e55e4f93b2cf26d0822201c9%7C0%7C0%7C636752200786996565&sdata=%2Fhf3ZhhbhuWsPONV%2B66B1%2Bo4ihFN%2B4KGelEYOMaMSnQ%3D&reserved=0>

You can find the proposed exit criteria here:

If you'd like to see all the changes between the last published draft and the current editors draft, you can see those here: (Status of the document will be added on publication)

Background:
Reaching Candidate Recommendation means the ACT Rules Format will be feature complete. Requirements in the ACT RF can not be changed anymore, without going back to working draft. Editorial changes will still be possible. Once in Candidate Recommendation, the ACT Task Force will need to work to meet all of the exit criteria.

Please respond to this e-mail with a "+1" if you approve, or with a "-1" if you have any objections. The CFC closes on Wednesday October 17th.

Kind regards,
