REVIEW - WCAG 2 proposed changes (due by April 15)

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.

  *   Update index.html to correct alphabetical order #4256<https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/4256>
  *   Update user-inactivity.html #4122<https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/4122> (originally sent Nov 20, 2024)

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 at least four +1 votes (activating the 👍 emoji) for substantive or errata changes.
  2.  Or provide feedback in the conversation thread 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.
