Re: WCAG 2.0 authorised translation in Finnish, LTO submission of intent

Dear Ossi

On behalf of the W3C and of the WAI team, I am happy to notify you, in  
your quality of LTO, to proceed with the preparation of a Candidate  
Authorized Translation of WCAG 2.0 (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/) into  
Finnish.

As discussed offline, we are now at step 3 of the policy for Authorized  
W3C Translations, in which the LTO is expected to develop a "Candidate  
Authorized Translation (CAT)" of the entire document  
(http://www.w3.org/2005/02/TranslationPolicy.html).

In prepartion for step 4 (W3C Initiation of Review Process), I have  
requested internally the creation of public-auth-trans-fi@w3.org , a  
public mailing-list to use when the CAT is ready.

Best regards,
Coralie Mercier
