15:16:27 <gb> https://github.com/w3c/maturity-model/issues/323 -> Issue 323 Strengthen motivation for procurement language (by judbrew) [Editorial]
15:17:17 <Fazio> David, thank you for checking. This response only minimally addresses the point that I was raising; it addresses it only within the context of a single organization, or other individual organizations that might be influenced by a single organization that uses its procurement policies strategically. It does not capture the strength of coordinated
15:17:17 <Fazio> procurement policies that selectively purchase accessibility-supporting software and apps instead of apps that continue to perpetuate accessibility barriers in the process of creating websites, apps, and content. What is your timeline for resolving comments on the latest version of the maturity model? It would be helpful if I could look at the
15:17:17 <Fazio> updated draft, to ensure that I am proposing language harmonized with your current document—but I would appreciate the opportunity to propose a modified version of this language for your consideration, to try to better capture the point that I feel is still missing in this. (Difficult today, but possible over the coming weekend.)On Jun 17, 2026,

15:17:19 <Fazio> @judbrew here is what we came up with to address this issue. Please, let us know if this satisfies your request:
15:17:19 <Fazio> Adhering to accessibility principles in procurement saves time by enabling more efficient production of accessible content and by avoiding unnecessary remediation of inaccessible content created by tools that do not support accessibility. It also reduces the need for accommodations and increases employment among people with disabilities, thereby
15:17:19 <Fazio> 08:18 <Sheri_B-H> making accessibility more ingrained within an organization. Additionally, when an organization communicates to product vendors that accessibility requirements are part of the product selection criteria, it can incentivize other organizations to improve their future offerings.

15:25:49 <JeffAdams-UN> janina: Could be better to ask for proposed language now
15:33:21 <Fazio> Proposed response: Thank you, Judy. We have made decisions regarding other sections of the document, as we work through Github Issues, that are not yet reflected in the Editors Draft. However, we do not believe that any of those changes will fundamentally alter anything related to Procurement.
15:33:21 <Fazio> We would appreciate your proposed language anytime. Please, take into consideration that this non-normative document focuses on "the what" not the "why" or "how".
