Judy, The Mobile Accessibility Task Force of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (WCAG WG) and the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (UAWG) requests approval to transition "Mobile Accessibility: How WCAG 2.0 and Other W3C/WAI Guidelines Apply to Mobile" to First Public Working Draft. This is planned as a W3C Note. Title: Mobile Accessibility: How WCAG 2.0 and Other W3C/WAI Guidelines Apply to Mobile Shortname: mobile-accessibility-mapping Version ready for publication as FPWD: http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/WD-mobile-accessibility-mapping-20150224/ Editor's Draft Estimated Publication Date: Thursday 26 February 2015 == Abstract == This document, “Mobile Accessibility: How WCAG 2.0 and Other W3C/WAI Guidelines Apply to Mobile” describes how the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 [WCAG20] and its principles, guidelines, and success criteria can be applied to mobile web content, mobile web apps, native apps, and hybrid apps using web components inside native apps. It provides informative guidance, but does not set requirements. It also highlights the relevance of the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 [UAAG20] in the mobile context. This document is intended to become a Working Group Note and is part of a series of technical and educational documents published by the [20]W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

The Mobile Accessibility Task Force asks in particular: 1. Is this document helpful in understanding the applicability of WCAG 2.0 and UAAG 2.0 to the mobile environment? 2. Is the format of this information helpful for designers, developers and testers of content that can be viewed with mobile devices and in mobile apps? Is it useful for policymakers? 3. In Appendix A, is listing relevant existing WCAG 2.0 techniques helpful for mobile content and mobile app developers? 4. Are there additional accessibility needs in the mobile environment related to the WCAG principles that we should address? 5. Have we sufficiently explained why keyboard interface and modality independent controls are needed in the mobile environment?
