CFC: Approve ACT Rules Format 1.1 first public working draft

Hey folks,

After months of work and various updates, I believe we are ready for the
first public working draft of the ACT Rules Format version 1.1. Please note
that the "Status of this document" section is yet to be updated. This won't
be done until the working draft is ready to go out. All changes are now
merged into the editors draft, which you can find here:

- Editors draft: https://w3c.github.io/wcag-act/act-rules-format.html

In summary, this first public working draft introduced the following
changes to the ACT Rules Format:

- 4. Rule Structure: Accessibility Support and Assumptions section are now
subsections of Background.
- 4.4. Accessibility Requirements Mapping: Accessibility requirements are
now categorized as either Conformance requirements or Secondary
requirements.
- 4.8. Background: New optional Related Rules and Other Resources
subsections have been added
- 4.11. Change Log: The Change Log has been renamed to Rule Versions
- 4.14. Implementations: New section has been added, including a method for
determining consistency with ACT Rules
- 7. Definitions: The Outcome definition is updated to include cantTell and
untested
Overall Links to W3C specifications are updated to their latest
recommendation
- All changes from the previous published version can be viewed using the
Editor’s draft to Rules Format 1.0 Recommendation diff link

If you agree with publishing the ACT Rules Format 1.1 as the first public
working draft please respond with +1. If you have any concerns with this
please respond with -1, along with a clarification on those concerns and
what would address them. This call for review ends on December 7th at the
start of the next ACT Task Force meeting.
