Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
[This announcement will be forwarded to the group and to W3C group chairs]

The Accessibility Guidelines Working Group charter is hereby extended 
until 31 October 2023.
https://www.w3.org/2019/12/ag-charter

The mission of the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group is to develop 
specifications to support making implementations of web technologies 
accessible for people with disabilities, and to develop and maintain 
implementation support materials.

The AC has already reviewed [1] a proposed new charter [2] for the 
Working Group. All voters approved the proposed charter, some with 
clarification requests for which we have worked out consensus wording 
with commenters but not yet integrated into the draft. However, this 
charter does not include normative work on WCAG 2, which was expected to 
be a Recommendation by the time the new charter goes into effect. WCAG 
2.2 will soon be published as a third Candidate Recommendation to 
address implementation feedback, and therefore will not be a 
Recommendation before the expiry of the current charter which includes 
WCAG 2 in its scope. This charter extension is to allow completion of 
WCAG 2.2.

More information about the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group can be 
found on its home page [3], including information about group Chairs, 
Team Contact and instructions for joining the group.

If you have any questions or need further information, please contact 
Michael Cooper <cooper@w3.org>, Accessibility Guidelines WG Team Contact.

This extension follows section 4.5 of the W3C Process Document:

Thank you,

For Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director,
