The World Wide Web Consortium's Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) develops guidelines widely regarded as the international standard for Web accessibility, as well as works to ensure that the full range of core technologies of the Web, from HTML to the Semantic Web, are and remain accessible by reviewing accessibility support across all W3C specifications. Learn about the latest WAI activities such as: the finalizing of ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) 1.0, work on ARIA 1.1, the progress around Indie UI (Independent User Interface), and getting long description re-added to HTML5.

Editor's Notes
- The Protocols and Formats Working Group: Ensures that W3C technologies support Web accessibility Reviews W3C specifications at or before Last Call Working Draft stage many technical experts from W3C working groups participate Produces requirements statements and review comments
- WCAG – Web Content Accessibility Guidelines - http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/ ATAG – Authoring Tools Accessibility Guidelines - http://www.w3.org/TR/ATAG20/ UAAG – User Agent Accessibility Guidelines - http://www.w3.org/TR/UAAG20/
- W3C Recommendation (REC): A W3C Recommendation is a specification or set of guidelines or requirements that, after extensive consensus-building, has received the endorsement of W3C Members and the Director. W3C recommends the wide deployment of its Recommendations as standards for the Web. The W3C Royalty-Free IPR licenses granted under the Patent Policy apply to W3C Recommendations. Proposed Recommendation: A Proposed Recommendation is a document that has been accepted by the W3C Director as of sufficient quality to become a W3C Recommendation. This phase establishes a deadline for the Advisory Committee review which begins with Candidate Recommendation. Substantive changes must not be made to a Proposed Recommendation except by publishing a new Working Draft or Candidate Recommendation. Candidate Recommendation (CR): A Candidate Recommendation is a document that satisfies the Working Group's technical requirements, and has already received wide review. W3C publishes a Candidate Recommendation to * signal to the wider community that a final review should be done * gather implementation experience * begin formal review by the Advisory Committee, who may recommend that the document be published as a W3C Recommendation, returned to the Working Group for further work, or abandoned. * Provide an exclusion opportunity as per the W3C Patent Policy [PUB33]. A Candidate Recommendation under this process corresponds to the "Last Call Working Draft" discussed in the Patent Policy. Note: Candidate Recommendations are expected to be acceptable as Recommendations. Announcement of a different next step should include the reasons why the change in expectations comes at so late a stage. Working Draft (WD): A Working Draft is a document that W3C has published for review by the community, including W3C Members, the public, and other technical organizations. Some, but not all, Working Drafts are meant to advance to Recommendation; see the document status section of a Working Draft for the group's expectations. Any Working Draft not, or no longer, intended to advance to Recommendation should be published as a Working Group Note. Working Drafts do not necessarily represent a consensus of the Working Group, and do not imply any endorsement by W3C or its members beyond agreement to work on a general area of technology. Working Group Note, Interest Group Note (NOTE): A Working Group Note or Interest Group Note is published by a chartered Working Group or Interest Group to provide a stable reference for a useful document that is not intended to be a formal standard, or to document work that was abandoned without producing a Recommendation. Rescinded Recommendation: A Rescinded Recommendation is an entire Recommendation that W3C no longer endorses. See also clause 10 of the licensing requirements for W3C Recommendations in section 5 of the W3C Patent Policy [PUB33].

- WAI-ARIA 1.1 – Recommendation WAI-ARIA 1.1 – Working Draft Indie UI – Events 1.0 & Context 1.0 – Working Drafts The purpose of Indie Ui is to make it easier for web applications to work in a wide range of contexts across different devices, different assistive technologies and different user needs. IndieUI User Context is to provide authorized web applications access to information about a user's relevant settings and preferences. IndieUI Events is an abstraction between physical, device-specific user interaction events and inferred user intent such as scrolling or changing values.
