RE: For Review: WCAG 3 Working Draft Outcomes

Hello Shawn,

 

Will there be community/working group meetings in the future that are at times more suitable for people who live in the southern hemisphere?

 

I’d very much like to participate in any public fora, but they’re typically in the very early hours of the morning.

 

Regards,

Adam Cooper

Subject: For Review: WCAG 3 Working Draft Outcomes

 

Dear WAI Interest Group,

For background and up-to-date information on W3C Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 3, please see:
    WCAG 3 Introduction
    https://www.w3.org/WAI/wcag3

The Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (AG WG) published an updated WCAG 3 Working Draft at:
    https://www.w3.org/TR/wcag-3.0/

This draft includes potential outcomes that we are exploring. The final set of outcomes in WCAG 3 will be different from this draft. Outcomes will be edited, added, combined, and removed.

The purpose of this draft is to:

* better understand the scope of user needs and how they could be addressed in an accessibility standard,
* request assistance in identifying gaps, and
* request assistance locating and conducting research to validate or invalidate the drafted outcomes.

Some of the outcomes are marked as needing research. We are particularly interested in assistance identifying or conducting research to support or refute them.

For your review:

When reviewing this update, please focus on the Guidelines section. We did not make changes to conformance related sections.

Please consider the following questions when reviewing the outcomes in this draft:

* What outcomes needed to make web content accessible are missing?
* What research supports or refutes these outcomes?
* Are any of these outcomes out of scope for accessibility standards? If so, please explain why.

To provide input, please file GitHub issues at:
    https://raw.githack.com/w3c/wcag3/30-april-meeting/guidelines/index.html
Or, if you are unable to use GitHub, send email to public-agwg-comments@w3.org <mailto:public-agwg-comments@w3.org>  

Please create separate GitHub issues or email messages for each topic (rather than putting multiple topics in a single issue or email).

Thank you in advance for your contributions to WCAG 3. This draft reflects ongoing work on WCAG 3. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the AG Chairs via email to: group-ag-chairs@w3.org <mailto:group-ag-chairs@w3.org> 

Regards,
Shawn Lawton Henry, as Accessibility Communications Lead, for:
Rachael Bradley Montgomery, Alastair Campbell, Chuck Adams – AG WG Co-Chairs
