Re: W3C Equity Community Group - Monday, January 29

Happy Monday, y’all!

This morning Bruce Bailey and I met. We caught up on the conversations had with Sheri and Tzviya in December regarding evolving the Accessibility Maturity Model. Tzviya proposed that we coordinate with other groups, such as Sustainable Web Design, Privacy, and Security, as we evolve the maturity model for equity. I did reach out a couple of weeks ago to Tantek Çelik and Nick Doty to see if the Sustainable Web Design group would be interested. If I understood, Nick wasn’t opposed. 😉 Still more to discuss, of course.

I propose that we put the Accessibility Maturity Model into a Google document so that we can invite the other interested parties (Sustainable Web Design, Security, Privacy — anyone else?) to collaborate on evolving the Maturity Model to incorporate equity, sustainability, security, privacy, and any others that are interested. When we started to evolve for equity, we did begin this, so I’ll check that document, make sure we have the whole thing, and we can regroup in two weeks.

In the interim, I welcome discussion via email.

Subject: W3C Equity Community Group - Monday, January 29
Hi Equity CG,

After a very long break… we'll meet at 14:00 UTC on Monday 29 January 2024 (10 am Eastern, 7 am Pacific)

Details including Zoom information can be found at https://www.w3.org/groups/cg/equity/calendar.


We use IRC to take minutes for the meeting. You can use IRC in your browser by going to irc.w3.org and then the #equity channel.

Agenda

  *   Continue work to evolve the accessibility maturity model for equity. It helps if we review asynchronously — if you have the time. Don’t worry if you can’t.
  *   Discuss how we might evolve the accessibility maturity model to include equity, sustainability, security, privacy, and web performance — Tzviya can explain this to the group. We did reach out to Nick Doty & Tantek Çelik to hear their thoughts. There is some interest particularly in how these might apply towards horizontal review.
Ahead of the meeting
Please locate any of the following and feel free to email me. I’ll add them to the Github and Google docs, so you don’t have to look for them.

  *   Equity definitions
  *   Equity assessment frameworks
  *   Equity frameworks or models
  *   Any other equity-related resources that you consider relevant to clarifying what equity means, how to consider it, and how to adopt equity-based principles

Enjoy your weekend!
Thank you,
Jen
