Pre-CFC for WCAG 2.2 transition to CR

Hi everyone,

This is a notification that the CFC for moving WCAG 2.2 to candidate recommendation will be coming soon, hopefully Friday.

This should also help anyone struggling to keep up with the threads.

Since the previous CFC the changes are:


  *   Several (proposed) WCAG 2.1/2.0 errata have been tackled. We also agreed to re-publish WCAG 2.1 so the errata will show up in the main spec, and we can tackle more of them before re-publication.

  *   The Flash provisions have been updated.

  *   The exception for Accessibility Authentication has been changed as part of the re-structuring (no change to meaning/requirement).

  *   Focus appearance:
     *   The first line was updated to address the ‘persistence’ objection.
     *   The sub-components aspect was updated.
     *   The SC will be marked at risk due to complexity.
     *   We agreed to add a note on interpreting the visual aspect for sizing, we’re just narrowing down the wording/terms on that currently.
     *   The user-agent survey was very balanced, so checking previous results on the same topic the chairs interpret the consensus view is to use the current exceptions, status quo.

  *   Focus obscured: There is a proposal to update this to use “overlap” instead of obscured, but we may tackle that in the understanding document instead.

These can be previewed here:

If there is anything that would cause you to vote against the transition to CR (not already covered above), please reply.

We’ll use the Friday meeting to discuss any updates:
