[LTO approved - step 2 to 3] Re: LTO Candidate for WCAG 2.2 Catalan translation, with stakeholders including business companies, web developers, designers...

Dear Mireia,

On behalf of the W3C and of the WAI team, I am happy to notify you, 
Facultat de Matemàtiques i Informàtica of Universitat de Barcelona as 
the LTO, to proceed with the preparation of a Candidate Authorized 
Translation of WCAG 2.2 
(<https://www.w3.org/TR/2023/REC-WCAG22-20231005/>) into Catalan.

We are entering step 3 of the policy for Authorized W3C Translations 
(<https://www.w3.org/2005/02/TranslationPolicy.html>). When complete, 
the LTO announces the CAT and its URI on the translators' mailing list 
(<w3c-translators@w3.org>).

Best regards,
Xueyuan
