Becoming a participant in Good Standing in the WCAG WG

The following is an excerpt from the W3C Process document section 6.2.1.7 Good Standing in a Working Group

There are four steps to apply to become a participant of the WCAG WG:

1. Read the charter

Read the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Working Group Charter (WCAG WG). Contact Wendy Chisholm with questions.

Participation enables you to influence the development of the deliverables, and you and your organization will be listed as contributors to the deliverables of the WCAG WG where appropriate. Participant status, however, requires a commitment on your behalf to support the work of the group.

Participants are expected to observe the requirements of Section 6.2.1.7 of the Process Document ("Good Standing in a Working Group").

2. Submit a Request to Join

Note: The WCAG WG is a public working group and by participating you will not receive access to information that is W3C Member-confidential unless you have been given privileges through participation in another W3C Working Group.

3. Wait for confirmation

Once we have all of the necessary information, we will notify you of your acceptance as a participant.

4. Subscribe to the mailing list

After these forms are processed, you will be subscribed to the w3c-wai-gl@w3.org mailing list. The archives of this list are publicly available and can be read by anyone. Please read the mailing list use policy.
