<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Ron,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>An item I would like to add to the agenda is
collaborative work among ourselves as accessibility specialists.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> We have many highly knowledgeable and
energetic members and I believe we can bring these individuals together to work
collaboratively on very interesting projects. I know everyone is very busy and
has already to much on his/her plate but I strongly believe with some
coordination and collaboration efforts we can produce very useful and
interesting results. Some of the projects that I am considering to suggest
are:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Identify minimum accessibility requirements
for Learning Management Systems</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Identify minimum accessibility requirements
for WebMail Systems</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Identify minimum accessibility requirements
for online library services</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. Producing technical documentations how to
address specific accessibility and accommodation issues</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>5. Defining general accessibility testing and
evaluations that can be integrated by Quality Assurance departments of potential
application development companies.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Projects 1-3 can help everyone in particular those
with administrative purchasing power to ask very specific accessibility
questions when vendors come to their campuses for demonstration of their
products. The more vendors are asked about the same or similar accessibility
questions, the more they will consider the required accessibility features in
their products.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The project 4 can be extremely useful for those
colleagues with less accessibility experience and knowledge. This would prevent
potential mistakes and can make them more productive and effective at their
jobs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The project 5 can homogenize and unifies our
subjective definitions of accessibility and can help and educate any vendors how
to test for accessibility of their products.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hadi</FONT></DIV>
