priorities online: http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/umtf/priorities
shawn notes that we have weak, rough coverage of promoting web accessibility at http://www.w3.org/WAI/participation.html#promo
Doyle: promoting web accessibility a high priority. talk to someone on bus, in a classroom.
Helle & Shawn: disability advocates etc. not know *web* *accessibility* (just building accessibility, e.g.). also not know issues with other disabilities (e.g., just blind)
Doyle: here also need simpler presentations of the issues, executive summary to educate developers
<scribe> ACTION: wayne revise current Deliverable 2 based on teleconference discussion, and put it as priority 1 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/09/14-umtf-minutes.html#action01]
<scribe> ACTION: wayne check with liam about priorities, and willingness to edit 1st priority doc (note his logo project still seems too big & long term, and thus would be lower priority) [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/09/14-umtf-minutes.html#action02]
Doyle: initiate grassroots
activites, cities can be working on, get people working on
issues locally
... [within corporation] current EO docs address issues with
business. missing straightforward doc for someone advocateing
web accessibility
... a simple version of accessiility issues
... e.g., online timesheet not accessible
<judy> note that these are in random order, and incomplete
<judy> + relate it to other kinds of disability advocacy, so that people can see the parallels, and use cross-over strategies
<judy> + intro saying that you can do a lot to impact web accessibility w/out knowing a lot of technical detail
<judy> + remind the importance of advocating across different disability needs, and fend off myth that disability needs conflict between different groups
<judy> + talk about the range of resources in which advocacy around Web accessibility might be needed
<judy> + lay out some different approaches, e.g. a tiered level of awareness, communication w/ organizations w/ inaccessible sites, sharing resources for more info, providing bcase rationale & resources, pushing the need to comply, & eventually additional pushing more if needed
<judy> + link to some simple sample materials to use in advocacy
<judy> + provide some tips on approaches/discussions that do work (e.g. demonstrating barriers) and that don't work well or might backfire & lose ground
<judy> + awareness for advocates about how to find policy resources that in some cases require compliance
<scribe> ACTION: william look at judy's list and how it relates to what WAI already has [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2006/09/14-umtf-minutes.html#action03]
