WCAG 2 proposed changes (review by July 7)

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. If the working group members are in general agreement during this review period, it will be queued for a CFC process for publication at a later time.

  *   Editorial (Normative): "Web" to "web", harmonise when SC is upper or lowercase #4461<https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/4461>

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.
