CfC: Addition to WCAG 2.0 errata

CALL FOR CONSENSUS – ends Thursday April 21 at 11:30am Boston time.

The Working Group is chartered to publish an edited version of the WCAG 2.0 document that incorporates editorial errata.  An editorial issue that exists on the current list is:

Success Criterion 1.4.3<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211/#visual-audio-contrast-contrast> point "Logotypes" states "Text that is part of a logo or brand name has no minimum contrast requirement." The word "minimum", not used in the other points, implies a difference in meaning that is not intended. For clarity and consistency, remove the word "minimum" from this point.

We received a comment that this should apply to SC 1.4.6 as well since the language is identical and the working group discussed this on the call and in a survey (https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/NewWCAGEditRec/results#xq7) and agreed to add this as a new errata.

If you have concerns about this proposed consensus position that have not been discussed already and feel that those concerns result in you “not being able to live with” this position, please let the group know before the CfC deadline.

Thanks,
AWK
