RE: Minutes from Equity CG 2023-Nov-6

My apologies for having to drop so abruptly.  I had wanted to mention two tangential items of interest:
Virtual attendance at this year’s Inter Agency Accessible Forum is open to the public, and it is not too late to register for the virtual sessions (which is the majority of them).
https://www.section508.gov/iaaf/

It starts tomorrow and, among many other compelling sessions, Judy Brewer is part of a panel Thursday morning (U.S. Eastern):
https://www.section508.gov/iaaf/archives/agenda-2023/#day3


I also wanted to highlight this recent (September 23rd) OMB memorandum M-23-22:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/management/ofcio/delivering-a-digital-first-public-experience/

Equity is not explicitly called out, but accessibility is prominent, and builds on DEIA guidance from the administration.
