Subject: Extending Deadline on WCAG 2.0 Last Call
Review [was: Fwd: 
Call for Review: Last Call Working Draft of Web
Content Accessibility 
Guidelines 2.0]


Dear WAI Interest Group Participants:

Please note that the deadline for comments on WCAG 2.0
has been 
extended by 
three weeks. The new deadline is now Thursday 22 June
2006 instead of 
31 
May 2006, to allow more time due to the wider
attention that this Last 
Call 
Working Draft is receiving. We thank early commenters
for the numerous 
constructive comments that the Working Group has
already received; the 
Working Group is already working on your comments.
Please also note the 
following clarifications with regard to the review
process.

1. The deadline for comments on the Last Call Working
Draft only 
applies to 
the Guidelines document itself. The supporting
documents 
("Understanding 
WCAG 2.0" and "Techniques for WCAG 2.0") do not have a
deadline for 
comments, though you may find them helpful in
understanding or 
implementing 
the provisions in the guidelines. We welcome comments
on the supporting 
documents in addition to comments on the guidelines,
but we encourage 
you 
to focus your attention on the relatively short
guidelines document 
itself 
during the review period.

2. While the Working Group has provided a form for
comment submissions, 
you 
may also email comments directly to the comments list
without the form. 
Some commenters have already done this; we've now made
this more 
obvious in 
the commenting instructions [1]. However, if you do
use the comments 
form, 
it will give the Working Group consistent and specific
information that 
can 
help them better understand and address the issues
that you raise.

3. Under W3C Process, a "Last Call Working Draft" is
not the last step 
before the document is finished; neither is it the
beginning of the 
review 
process. This Last Call Working Draft follows a series
of Public 
Working 
Drafts that have been previously circulated for
comment, and the 
Working 
Group has already incorporated extensive contributions
from those 
reviews. 
Last Call Working Draft is one of the most important
stages at which to 
comment; however it is followed by another stage,
Candidate 
Recommendation, 
where reviewers can submit comments based on
implementations of WCAG 
2.0; 
then by Proposed Recommendation, when W3C Members
review it for 
approval as 
a Recommendation. Please see the original call for
review further down 
in 
this message, and the commenting instructions [1],
which provide more 
information on these stages.

Review comments are extremely valuable to W3C/WAI. One
of the strengths 
of 
W3C/WAI's process is that it encourages broad public
review and 
participation from many different perspectives. We
have received 
contributions throughout the course of developing WCAG
2.0 from 
individuals 
and organizations around the world, including
disability organizations, 
industry, Web developers research, education,
government, and other 
areas, 
as well as contributions throughout the process from
the diverse 
membership 
of the WCAG Working Group itself.

If you haven't yet, I encourage you to read the
guidelines while they 
are 
in Last Call Working Draft; evaluate them against your
own needs and 
expectations; then share with the Working Group your
comments on what 
you 
think needs to change in the document. As with any W3C
group during 
Last 
Call, the WCAG Working Group will review and respond
to all comments 
received on the Last Call Working Draft. Your comments
help us to 
create 
the best and most usable document that we can.

Thank you in advance for your comments.

Regards,

- Judy
