The Accessibility Guidelines Working Group has published a final Working Draft of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 for wide review: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/ WCAG 2.1 adds new success crtiteria to expand coverage users of mobile devices, people with cognitive or learning disabilities, and people with low vision. Most success criteria are complete, but some are still under discussion. The success criteria under discussion are marked with editorial notes and pointers to the ongoing discussion. As these success criteria are finalized, they will be updated in the Editors' Draft at: https://w3c.github.io/wcag21/guidelines/ Because this is the final Working Draft, we encourage you to comment on all success criteria as soon as possible, and *please comment no later than 12 January 2018*. If you have comments on this draft or on continuing work on open issues, we prefer that you file input as new issues in GitHub at: https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/ Alternatively, you can send email to: public-agwg-comments@w3.org <mailto:public-agwg-comments@w3.org> The Working Group plans to publish the Candidate Recommendation in late January 2018. The Candidate Recommendation will include the final form of success criteria currently still under discussion, though they will be marked as "at risk" due to the lack of review opportunity from this current draft. Additional background on WCAG 2.1 is available from previous announcements: * WCAG 2.1 description: https://www.w3.org/blog/2017/02/wcag21-fpwd/ * Announcement to this list: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/2017JanMar/0277.html * Timeline: https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/WCAG_2.1_timeline More information about the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group is available from its home page: https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/ Regards, Andrew Kirkpatrick, Accessibility Guidelines WG Chair, Joshue O Connor, Accessibility Guidelines WG Chair, Michael Cooper, Accessibility Guidelines WG W3C Staff Contact
