The following email outlines the updates proposed and implemented by the WCAG 2 Task Force. It provides a two-week window for Working Group members to review WCAG 2 updates, and consists of changes in three categories.

How to provide feedback

For proposed substantive or editorial changes:

  1.  Give a thumbs up on the pull request description to agree. (We are looking for >4)
  2.  Or provide feedback in the Conversation to request changes

Based on feedback, those changes will be merged or brought back for another review.
