Call for Review: WCAG 2.0 Techniques Draft Updates

Dear WAI Interest Group Participants,

Updates of two supporting documents for Web Content Accessibility Guideline (WCAG) 2.0 are available for review. *This is not an update to WCAG 2.0, which is a stable document*. The supporting documents (W3C Working Group Notes) are updated periodically to reflect current practices and technologies. The existing Techniques and Understanding documents remain in place as W3C Notes while the separate draft updates are under review and the WCAG Working Group addresses comments.

The following draft updates are available for review as Editors' Drafts:
* Techniques for WCAG 2.0 Editors' Draft <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2015/WD-WCAG20-TECHS-20150106/>
* Understanding WCAG 2.0 Editors' Draft <http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2015/WD-UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20-20150106/>

The changes are highlighted in diff-marked versions at:
* http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2015/WD-WCAG20-TECHS-20150106/complete-diff.html
* http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2015/WD-UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20-20150106/complete-diff.html
