Re: CFC - 4.1.1 Parsing in WCAG 2.0 and 2.1

AG Working Group members,



As we have received substantially positive feedback leading up to this CfC, this CfC is agreed on as a consensus opinion of the working group.



This decision will be recorded at https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Decisions.

One objection was noted on the approach:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2023JanMar/0326.html
However, as we could not get consensus for any type of normative change in a previous attempt, we will proceed with the note approach.

Two objections were noted on the wording on the note, so we will open a survey for comments on the exact wording of the note.

Kind regards,

-Alastair

Hi everyone,

Call For Consensus — ends Tuesday 28th March at 1PM Boston time.

Following from a previous CFC which did not pass:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2023JanMar/0201.html

We discussed an alternative:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2023JanMar/0282.html

That alternative appears to have support (including from those objecting to the previous CFC).

The change has been implemented here:
https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/3116

It adds the proposed note to the SC text, and updates the understanding document. The understanding document states that it has been removed from 2.2 but remains in WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 with a note (and replicates the note there).

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.

Kind regards,

-Alastair
