+* **Raise, comment on, or propose fixes to WCAG issues:** If you’re aware of an issue with any of the published WCAG 2.x resources, W3C welcomes you to [raise a new issue on GitHub](https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/) &mdash; you can also comment on and, even better, propose solutions for existing issues.
+* **Contribute to WCAG 3 discussions:** As WCAG 3 develops, many topics are being discussed &mdash; to contribute your views, see the list of [open WCAG 3 discussions in GitHub](https://github.com/w3c/wcag3/discussions) and [mailing list discussions](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/).
