Dear All: After sitting with this proposal for a few days I find myself wanting to play devil's advocate. My concern is that the word is a present tense imperative verb. Is that really the stance we want to take? ARIA is a noun. I wish we could have a noun rather than an imperative verb. I'm not sure that the demand inherent in an imperative is the attitude we want to take? I would further note that in the U.S. disability advocacy context, ADAPT is a fairly millitant organization working for accessible transportation. They've made mainstream news with their tactics: https://adapt.org At the very least I think we should consider these points before moving forward--not that I'm desiring to be the wet blanket here.
