Re: [office] Request for TC approval of our ODF Accessibility Guidelinesdocument as a "Committee Draft"

[Richard Schwerdtfeger <schwer@us.ibm.com>]

Michael, I called in at the appropriate time, or so I thought, and nobody was on the call (10:30AM Central). Nobody was on.

What is the status of the review? Based on the feedback we had received I did not see anything warranting a change in this version but that we might change the ODF 1.2 version to address AT support of the KDE accessibility infrastructure.

Subject	Re: [office] Request for TC approval of our ODF Accessibility Guidelines document as a "Committee Draft"

Dear TC members,

SC members: Thank you very much for the new draft.

I have set the ballot on the agenda of TC meeting on Monday. Rich
Schwerdtfeger will join us for the topic. Since he is available only in
the 2nd half of the call, I will call the topic when, although I have
listed it as the first item.

Best regards

Michael
