Subject: CFC - Two editorial Errata
Importance: High

Call For Consensus — ends Friday September 28 at 9am Boston time.

The Working Group has discussed one editorial errata during the working group call (https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/460<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_w3c_wcag_issues_460&d=DwMGaQ&c=4ZIZThykDLcoWk-GVjSLmy8-1Cr1I4FWIvbLFebwKgY&r=W3VUihr49D2x8upR4FtjMIsy0FSGEnqb4ghTiQJMtRw&m=nyqhmG-5axbtBZ6Fr-sy9PZhGwXKO1VIBqz2WwKOY2Y&s=vUIWZy7Q6Jw59TYbD72bu-QhoME6PRXT8hYqp9liOdU&e=> and https://www.w3.org/2018/09/25-ag-minutes.html#item07) and another was just reported that is so straightforward that this chair estimates 100% support for (https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/488).

Errata #1:
The text under the Understandable principle is currently “Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable.” There is a small grammatical issue which the group proposes to resolve by changing the text to “Information and operation of the user interface must be understandable.” (adding “the” before “user interface”).

Errata #2:
An issue was submitted this morning (https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/488<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_w3c_wcag_issues_488&d=DwMGaQ&c=4ZIZThykDLcoWk-GVjSLmy8-1Cr1I4FWIvbLFebwKgY&r=W3VUihr49D2x8upR4FtjMIsy0FSGEnqb4ghTiQJMtRw&m=nyqhmG-5axbtBZ6Fr-sy9PZhGwXKO1VIBqz2WwKOY2Y&s=Aw8I_aEX8l_cjsBJ6PT7fzT9UXnqWt0q_X2vT7XnvPQ&e=>) that pointed out that the text immediately following the “Robust” principle is “Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted by by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.” (note the “by by”). As this is different from the WCAG 2.0 text and the group intended to not make any change, the proposal for this Editorial Errata is to indicate that this text should match the WCAG 2.0 version, which is “Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.” (uses “reliably by” instead of “by by”).

In accepting this CFC, you are agreeing to mark issues 460 and 488 as editorial errata per the W3C’s process for indicating Errata to a published specification.

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 decision, please let the group know before the CfC deadline.

Thanks,
AWK
