Accessibility Guidelines Working Group - Task Forces
WCAG2ICT Task Force
Develops documentation describing how WCAG 2.x and its principles, guidelines, and success criteria could apply to non-Web Information and Communications Technologies (ICT).
Mobile Accessibility Task Force
The Mobile Accessibility Task Force (MATF) produces resources for applying WCAG to Android and iOS apps. In addition, the task force ensures that mobile is considered in new accessibility guidelines.
Cognitive and Learning Disabilities Accessibility Task Force
The Cognitive and Learning Disabilities Accessibility Task Force will develop draft proposed guidance and techniques to make web content, content authoring, and user agent implementation accessible and more useable by people with cognitive and learning disabilities.
Low Vision Accessibility Task Force
The Low Vision Accessibility Task Force addresses barriers and solutions to digital accessibility issues specific to users with low vision. It provides input into WCAG 2 techniques and understanding documents, and into WCAG 3. It may also develop additional low vision guidance resources.
Accessibility Conformance Testing (ACT) Task Force
The objective of the Accessibility Conformance Testing (ACT) Task Force is to evolve and maintain a repository of ACT Rules for WCAG 2, to promote a unified interpretation among different web accessibility test tools and methodologies. ACT Rules conform to the ACT Rules Format 1.0 to document different testing practices. The ACT TF reviews ACT Rules, and present them to AGWG when they meet stringent quality criteria. AGWG may publish such ACT Rules as non-normative W3C resources, as part of the supplemental guidance for WCAG 2.
Silver Task Force
The Silver Task Force will perform preliminary development of a new version of Accessibility Guidelines following a research-focused, user-centered design methodology to produce the most effective and flexible outcome. These guidelines will address the process of making content and functionality accessible to people with disabilities, including the roles of content authoring, user agent support, and authoring tool support. These guidelines will address current technological and cultural web accessibility requirements and provide a base for continued evolution of the guidelines. Also see the related Silver Community Group.
WCAG 2.x Backlog Task Force
The objective of the WCAG 2 Task Force is to maintain up-to-date versions of the normative and informative materials associated with versions 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, and to document considerations for WCAG 3.0 which cannot be readily addressed within the existing normative language of the 2.x specification.
