Subject: REVIEW - WCAG 2 proposed changes (due by Sep 9)

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 non-normative WCAG 2 updates, and consists of changes in several categories.
Proposed normative change
In addition to the non-normative changes in the sections below, the Task Force has identified a normative change for the Working Group. This is listed here to initiate a normative review process. It will be added to an upcoming call, and if the attending working group members are in general agreement, it will go through a CFC process.
How to provide feedback on the following changes
For proposed substantive or editorial changes:

  1.  Give a thumbs up on the pull request description to agree. We are looking for >4 +1 votes (activating the 👍 emoji) for substantive changes
  2.  Or provide feedback in the Conversation to request changes
Based on feedback, those changes will be merged or brought back for another review.
For proposed draft responses to issues, give a thumbs up or comment. If you spot a problem with an implemented bug fix, open a new issue.
