Oops. As they say..

 

Dear APA Web Payments sub-group,

 

Below is the message I intend to send to WAI-IG concerning the need to
collect personal experiences of persons with disabilities to help us (the
APA Web Payments sub-group) develop some use cases for the Payment
Accessibility User Requirements (PAUR). Please send any additions or
comments to me tonight, as I plan to send it out tomorrow.  Thanks!

 

 

 

Email Subject: Call for Discussion: Help with use cases for the Payment
Accessibility User Requirements (PAUR) document.

 

 

Dear WAI Interest Group,

 

We, the APA Web Payments sub-group, need your help. We would love to hear
about personal experiences and frustrating issues that you, as persons with
disabilities, have encountered, or might expect to encounter, when making
payments on the web.

 

 

HISTORY:

 

The APA Web Payments sub-group, falls under the W3C's Accessible Platform
Architectures (APA) Working Group. As many of you know APA's mission is to
ensure W3C specifications provide support for accessibility to people with
disabilities.

 

 

TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION:

 

Our sub-group for Web Payments is working on Use Cases for the Payment
Accessibility User Requirements (PAUR) document. This document is intended

We will be collecting your personal experiences and turning them into use
cases for the PAUR.
