+        on GitHub</a>. Changes will be reviewed by the membership first, and then
+      sent to the DSF and the Django community for comment.
+      We'll hold a comment period of at least one week, then the DSF board will vote on
+      the change. Approved changes will be merged, published, and noted below.

+    {% blocktranslate trimmed %}
+      The Django Software Foundation is committed to fostering an inclusive and
+      accessible community, project, and ecosystem. Accessibility is integral to

+      (WCAG) and the

+        Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines</a>
+      (ATAG). Where feasible, we strive to exceed these standards. Through documentation, tutorials,

+      where possible. We welcome feedback to make improvements on any and all aspects of physical
+      accessibility.
