Subject: [External] : CFC - 4.1.1 Parsing in WCAG 2.0 and 2.1
Importance: High

Call For Consensus - ends Friday Wed 15th at midday Boston time.

The group has discussed what to do with 4.1.1 Parsing in WCAG 2.0 & 2.1 now that it has been removed from WCAG 2.2.

From the discussion:
https://www.w3.org/2023/03/07-ag-minutes#item10<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.w3.org/2023/03/07-ag-minutes*item10__;Iw!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!N1V4fvCFmcy8LsYzv3bnooUoIVVZrye5_8m6kxvSOmmqmIOo-Ol5RkFHGmnssIB_Zv5uWV-68hobXBA28Q83Tw$>

Following the same approach as WCAG 2.2 was the preferred approach, where the SC text would be removed and replaced with a note that says why it has been removed.

The specific changes are detailed in these two pull requests:

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.

Assuming the group agrees to this change, there is likely to be a public review before we can re-publish WCAG 2.0 & 2.1.
