Work statement

To learn about the focus, scope and deliverables of the task force, see the WCAG 2.x Backlog Task Force Work Statement.

Current work

The WCAG 2.x Backlog Task Force supports the deliverables of the Accessibility Guidelines (AG) Working Group.

For details of the current work, see the WCAG 2.x Backlog Task Force wiki.

The task force has developed a workflow process for:

creating and vetting pull requests for WCAG 2.x issues, and
creating responses to WCAG 2.x issues.

The process includes a two-week review of all changes by the AG Working Group.

The WCAG 2.x Backlog Task Force welcomes input from the global accessibility community on the work to resolve WCAG 2.x issues.
