-1.
I do NOT agree that we have consensus.
Whether ir not something has been discussed before or not is not the point.

Hi David,
I think we did reach a place where the majority of the group members, at least on the call, could live with us signaling a more regular update cycle.
The question is what form that would take. The balance seems to be signalling intent to have a three year cycle, but not necessarily committing to it. We can review our status at those times, and release new SCs etc if we feel it is appropriate at that time.
That seems to be the most reasonable way to work it. I'm also exercising some faith and goodwill towards the work of the Silver team, that after 2.1 is live, we will be well into the FPWD of Silver.
If this is the case and the work is substantial and taking real shape then the efforts/energy of the group will go fully behind Silver. Otherwise maintaining a more regular dot.x release cycle is a practical alternative to allow us to keep WCAG a vibrant relevant standard.
Can you live with this?
Thanks
Josh

Ohhh... that's why.
I'm looking at section 3.1 Normative Specifications
It doesn't look like my concern was addressed, bec ause we have a section called "normative specifications" in which we say we will do "regular updates" which means we have adopted a different model from WCAG 2 which was was released when it was complete (rather than on a time) and had widespread approval. So it seems like it has been decided that we will ship on a schedule rather than when the spec is ready. Does that not worry anyone else? I was hoping we could come to consensus about whether we were actually going to ship on a set schedule.
Cheers,

've looked on 3 computers and I keep seeing the version
with the following
sentence
"The Working Group intends to produce regular updates for WCAG guidelines, starting with WCAG 2.1. The public schedule for the updates is documented in the AG WG Project Management Plan."
I believe the consensus changed that sentence.

CALL FOR CONSENSUS – ends Thursday October 13 at 1:00pm Boston time.
This is a CfC seeking WG approval to release the current draft charter for AC review. The item was surveyed, discussed on the WG call, and approved ( http://www.w3.org/2016/10/11-wai-wcag-minutes.html <http://www.w3.org/2016/08/23-wai-wcag-minutes.html#item03> ). There was much discussion leading up to the call, and on the call, and the group felt that a consensus opinion was reached on key items.
Draft charter: http://www.w3.org/2016/09/draft-wcag-charter
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
