Instructions for Commenting on WCAG 2.0 Documents

Introduction

Please read this page for important information about commenting on Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.

Note that we will not formally reply to comments made after WCAG 2.0 was published in December 2008, although we will still take them into consideration as described below.

WCAG 2.0 itself is a stable Web Standard that will not change. Your comments on WCAG 2.0 maybe be used for an errata (documenting errors), for updating Understanding WCAG 2.0 and Techniques for WCAG 2.0, or for informing the next generation of accessibility standards and guidelines.

Understanding WCAG 2.0 and Techniques for WCAG 2.0 will be updated periodically. Your comments will help inform the updates.

Before commenting, please read WCAG introductory and education material, including:

• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Overview
• The WCAG 2.0 Documents
