Re: CFC - Transition UPDATED WCAG 2.1 Editor's Draft to Candidate Recommendation

HiUnfortunate if we do not stop this way of thinking now, we will just repeat the mistakes with 2.2 etc.
 WCAG 1.0 was criticized for lack of inclusion of people with learning and cognitive disabilities. The same happened with 2.0. At some point we have to say we are stopping to publish specifications that do not represent people with disabilities equally. It is only then that we might solve this problem.


That is my 2 cents anyway...

All the best

The minimum amount of time to go from FPWD to Recommendation is six 
months (174 days to be precise). It depends on everything going smoothly 
of course, but it can be done. 
 
It takes a fundamental change in work mode to do it though. With HTML, 
we went from 15 years between HTML4.1 and HTML5, to a roughly 12 month 
cycle for 5.1, 5.2, and now 5.3. We had to change quite a lot to enable 
this though, and of course those same things might not be as suitable 
for this WG as they were for WebPlat.
