Not a bad approach Michael. If it is taken up, then: While always tempted by SM - I nominate Brian Gryth as he was handling the original SM TF. I would like to put myself forward as a Chair candidate for the Accessibility TF. I'm on the WCAG working group and will be on a joint WAI-PF/WAI-WCAG TF in the new year, working on HTML 5. I have a good understanding of 508 in the US, and the various legislative requirements pertaining to accessibility for most countries as well. Working in web publishing and content delivery, I'm also keenly aware of accessibility issues as they relate to government, and was accepted to WCAG with this as my primary expertise.
