>WAI mourns the passing of John Slatin, who was Co-Chair of the Web 
>Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Working Group in 2005 and 
>2006. Through his persistence, patience, and keen insight, John 
>contributed greatly to the field of accessibility, especially to the 
>development of the WCAG 2.0. He will be fondly remembered and 
>greatly missed by his colleagues at W3C/WAI and in the broader 
>accessibility community.

>For those who want more information, John and his wife Anna have 
>chronicled his experiences on his blog "Leukemia Letters" at 
>http://leukemialetters.blogspot.com/ , and information about 
>services will be posted there.
