Hello WAI IG, I'm writing in my capacity as a long-standing participant of the Accessible Platform Architectures Working Group (APA WG). The APA WG is responsible for the accessibility review of all W3C specifications. It also produces specifications and supporting documentation relating to accessibility. It's charter has just been approved until 2021: https://www.w3.org/2018/08/apa-charter Accessibility is something the W3C has taken seriously since it's the early days of the Consortium. It is something our community continues to take seriously to this day. I'm now Co-chair of the Web Platform WG, and a member of the W3C Advisory Board, but APA was the first WG I joined. It is friendly and industrious, and an excellent way to get to know the rest of the W3C (because it reviews all the specifications produced by other WGs). It also provides an invaluable service to the rest of the Consortium. If you work for a W3C member, please encourage your organisation to join the APA WG and actively participate. If your organisation is already a member of the APA WG, I encourage you to continue your active participation. If you'd like to know more, I'm happy to help. Otherwise, you can contact Janina Sajka (APA Chair) or Michael Cooper (APA team contact), both of whom are copied on this email. Thanks. Léonie. -- @LeonieWatson @tink@toot.cafe Carpe diem
