Introduction Wendy Chisholm co-edited the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (WCAG 1.0) - the basis of web accessibility policy in Australia, Canada, the European Union, Japan, Korea, and the United States. She worked for the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Accessibility Initiative from 1999 to 2006. Her quest to make the world more accessible began in 1992 as a statistics tutor to a student who is blind. Having slept, breathed, and eaten content guidelines for over a decade, it's no wonder that she shares three initials with WCAG and was introduced as "Web Content" by accident at a conference.
