CFC - WCAG 2.1/2.2 errata

Hi everyone,

Call For Consensus — ends 8th November 2024 at 5pm Boston time.

There are a few minor normative (errata) updates to WCAG 2.1/2.2 which we would like to make, and re-publish so they are on the face of the specs.

All of these are things the group has reviewed and approved individually, so the forthcoming CFC is to check the group is happy to publish these in 2.1 and 2.2.

Few would apply to WCAG 2.0 so we aren’t proposing to add errata for 2.0.

Since the pre-CFC email two of the items have been updated based on feedback, and three have been added, marked below.

Applying to 2.2:


  *   Make "cognitive function test" definition term lowercase, aligning with other terms. https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/3943/files

  *   Update to the focus-appearance note, aligning with the final text.
https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/3657/files

  *   Updating the ‘new’ markers in 2.2.
https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/1481/files

Kind regards,
