Subject:        CFC - Two editorial Errata



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 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) 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
