New Business

new business - comments from last week updated into the editors draft

Github Issue #348 Continue editing Governance and Oversight

<Fazio> w3c/maturity-model#348

<gb> Issue 348 Oversight missing (by iadawn)

David - more updates needed for this issue

David - more removal of the term "culture" needed and being proposed

Jeff - Launch bullet change - "identifying leadership for digital accessibility program"

<Neha> +1

Jeff Adams - culture too broad in "formulating cultural programs" bullet should be eliminated

All - Remove the work "culture" in the last bullet of the section.

Mark - is it a concern with document consistency of digital accessibility term vs accessibility? Suggests using "accessibility across the document since the whole model deals with digital accessibility

Consensus to use the term accessibility only, not digital accessibility

David - does we need additional information on helping define more on goals and metrics

Jeff A. - has some information that might be considered for goals / metrics

<Fazio> policies on governance and oversight are really important and should be specific to the mandates and policing of accessibility policies and oversight

<Fazio> We should not be calling out dimension specific policies in governance in oversight

Maybe we need to consider a consistent set of bullets that show up in each dimension and are specified in each dimension.

David - should we have a policy proof point for each dimension?

Mark "Ensure accessibility policies are in place"

"Policies are in place to include accessibility oversite/governance "

David - will continue on next week with resolution of this language for issue 348
