I like the idea, although I don't think that verbal and conversational interfaces should have a special callout, as that implies that it would be the focus of new technologies we are addressing.  We certainly want to include them, but not to the exclusion of others.  It brings too much attention to them, IMO.

How about this language?

These guidelines will address technological and cultural web accessibility requirements. These guidelines strive to anticipate where the web and other internet technologies are headed so that the guidelines can continue to evolve.

Friendly amendment

I think that the objective should contain something that relates to  future technologies.

Objective

The objective of the task force is to perform preliminary development of a new version of Accessibility Guidelines following a research-focused, user-centered design methodology to produce the most effective and flexible outcome. Code-named "Silver", these guidelines will address the process of making content and functionality accessible to people with disabilities, including the roles of content authoring, user agent support, and authoring tool support. These guidelines will address current technological and cultural web accessibility requirements, but also look to where the web and broadening internet technologies are headed, including verbal and conversational interfaces, in order to and provide a base for continued evolution of the guidelines.
