Call For Consensus - ends 2nd March 2026 at midday Boston time.

The update is to publish updates to:

*             WCAG 3 Requirements (https://w3c.github.io/wcag3/requirements/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/w3c.github.io/wcag3/requirements/__;!!EDx7F7x-0XSOB8YS_BQ!dtF1XfBpH1cZfkKLBYd1KlbtWXkv6eLmjXNkEx988htp2ES_v0woMAss9aNomY2gJgeTjRbVoT8JM8U$>)

This CFC does not replace the existing CFC for the working draft<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2026JanMar/0079.html__;!!EDx7F7x-0XSOB8YS_BQ!dtF1XfBpH1cZfkKLBYd1KlbtWXkv6eLmjXNkEx988htp2ES_v0woMAss9aNomY2gJgeTjRbVOeAwH5o$>.

Updates to the explainer bring it in line with the current working draft for WCAG 3.
