AG Working Group and Silver Task Force members, We have received substantially positive feedback leading up to this CfC, but also received five objections: 1. Barriers to participation: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2020OctDec/0094.html 2. Deterministic conformance model: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2020OctDec/0094.html 3. Attribution: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2020OctDec/0096.html 4. Role of editors: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2020OctDec/0096.html 5. Relationship to WCAG 2: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2020OctDec/0093.html The objection on relationship to WCAG 2 resulted in wording change to the abstract, after which the objection was withdrawn: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2020OctDec/0103.html Proposed responses to the remaining objections were sent in December: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2020OctDec/0190.html The AG agreed today with the proposals to address the objections with an editor's note in the Background on WCAG 3 <https://raw.githack.com/w3c/silver/editors_notes_12_2020/guidelines/index.html#background-on-wcag-3-0> section of the FPWD and by adding a section to to the Acknowledgment appendix of WCAG 3 FPWD recognizing Participants who made notable contributions to the creation of this document <https://raw.githack.com/w3c/silver/editors_notes_12_2020/guidelines/index.html#participants-who-made-notable-contributions-to-the-creation-of-this-document> section of the FPWD. The objectors have not, however, withdrawn the objections as a result of these changes, and the chairs have not been able to find a path that seemed agreeable to participants of the Working Group and the objectors. Therefore, because of the otherwise broad support, this CfC is agreed on as a consensus with objections of the Working Group. We expect to treat the objections as Formal Objections which will be reviewed by the Director in context of the request to transition the document to First Public Working Draft. This decision will be recorded at https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Decisions.
