>Dear All,
>
>The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (WCAG WG) invites 
>you to comment on an updated draft of the Web Content Accessibility 
>Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0), published on 17 May 2007. WCAG 2.0 addresses 
>accessibility of Web content for people with disabilities.
>
>The updated WCAG 2.0 Public Working Draft incorporates changes in response 
>to comments received on the 27 April 2006 WCAG 2.0 Last Call Working 
>Draft. Because there were a number of substantive changes, WCAG 2.0 has 
>returned to Public Working Draft status. We expect to advance WCAG 2.0 to 
>a second Last Call Working Draft after this Public Working Draft.
>
>W3C/WAI encourages you to review this document and submit comments on any 
>issues which you feel could present a barrier to adoption and 
>implementation of WCAG 2.0. The Working Group seeks feedback on the 
>following points for this draft:
>
>         - Are the guidelines and success criteria clear? If not, can you 
> suggest clearer wording?
>         - Are there any success criteria that you feel are not 
> implementable or testable? If so, how could they be improved?
>         - Are there any success criteria that you feel would not improve 
> accessibility as written, or that might hinder it?  If so, how could they 
> be improved?
>
>Comments on this Working Draft are due by 29 June 2007. The Working Group 
>requests that comments be made using the online or downloadable comment 
>form available at
>         http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/comments/
>If this is not possible, comments can also be sent to 
>public-comments-wcag20@w3.org . The archives for this list are publicly 
>available. (Please note that if you submitted comments during the 2006
