employment of Ms. Martinez -- How People with Disabilities Use the Web

Hi Wayne, All,

Ref: <http://www.w3.org/2011/03/25-eo-minutes.html#action08>

In response to an action item from last weeks' EOWG teleconference call, 
Shawn and I have been looking at the suggestion to define an employment 
situation for Ms. Martinez scenario.

Of the 8 stories, 4 have clear employment, 2 are non-adults, and 2 are 
unspecified, as listed below. In order to not emphasis employment, I 
prefer not to add employment to Ms. Martinez.

Employment clear:
* Mr. Jones, Reporter with repetitive stress injury – employment in 
title & first paragraph
* Ms. Laitinen, Accountant with blindness – employment in title & first 
paragraph
* Mr. Sands, Supermarket assistant with Down syndrome – employment in 
title & first paragraph
* Mr. Yunus, Retiree with low vision, hand tremor, and mild short-term 
memory loss – "retiree" (in title & first paragraph) implies previous 
employment

Employment not relevant:
* Ms. Olsen, Classroom student with attention deficit hyperactivity 
disorder (ADHD) and dyslexia – child so employment not appropriate
* Ms. Kaseem, Teenager with deaf-blindness – teenager so employment less 
relevant

Employment not stated:
* Mr. Lee, Online shopper with color blindness – employment not mentioned
* Ms. Martinez, Online student who is hard of hearing – employment not 
mentioned


Please let me know if you have other opinions on this.

Best,
   Shadi
