Call for Participation in Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines Community Group

The Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines Community Group has been launched:

The Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG CG) will explore updating ATAG and addressing the role of AI in accessible authoring for web content. The ATAG CG will incubate updates to ATAG relating to the creation of accessible web content and authoring tool accessibility, with a focus on emerging technologies like AI. This ATAG CG will explore the challenges relating to current AI authoring tools and develop requirements and guidance for building AI authoring tools that are accessible and produce accessible content.

In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. Please note, however, that W3C Membership is not required to join a Community Group.

This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2025-09-03 by Wendy Reid. The following people supported its creation: Mike Gifford, Wendy Reid, Kate Kalcevich, Sambhavi Chandrashekar and Mia (Marie) Ahlgren. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.

The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.

We invite you to share news of this new group on social media and other channels.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org

Thank you,
