Minutes: https://www.w3.org/2025/08/04-equity-minutes.html

Discussed following topics

   - To decide whether Benjamin's ongoing document (Section 508.gov DEIA
   materials) contains relevant information for extraction, noting that it has
   been taken down from the Section 508 gov website under DEI backlash orders
   - Introduced CyberDetectives to the group at the GitHub repo
   - Next steps are to extract the useful bits from all of our lit review
   - Up for discussion how we want to format the condensing of the lit
   reviewProposed idea for format: Let all comment on and provide extra
   insights for the lit review (e.g. what resonates particularly strongly?
   What would be good to include in an equity framework? is there anything
   missing?), then after can create a condensed 'key takeaways' of each doc to
   present in a more visual and/or bitesize format
   - Agreed to send out a communication to lapsed members or members who
   might have been put off by lit review task to ask for input and comments
   during the next phase
   - Open question: How can we / should we map insight and takeaways from
   literature to the dimensions of organisational maturity?
   - We may need to adjust or add some dimensions from the accessibility
   version
   - Existing dimensions: communications, knowledge and skills, support,
   ICT development lifecycle, personnel, procurement, culture
   - Should we present these as dimensions weaving together rather than as
   fully separate categories?
   - All the MITRE notes are in the doc now
   - Maybe a spreadsheet or Miro could help organise condensed points
   against tabs of each of the maturity dimensions
