re: reminder of goals/vision for site redesign project

<excerpt>
If we are getting resistance on a more graphical design then maybe we
need to educate whomever on the necessity of doing this.
...
The last design submitted proves we can get the Wow-factor and do
accessible design.

The issue is not resistance to a graphical design, nor the ability to do
WOW & accessible.

The issue is coming up with a design that conveys the appropriate
message, feel, etc. to our extremely diverse, international audience.
(starting with ourselves... for example, at least two people had
negative reactions to the last design) 

We might end up on the more conservative side for the design of the WAI
site, and put efforts elsewhere into demonstrating WOW & accessible. 
 
Sorry I didn't communicate more effectively in our meeting last night
the issue we're facing on this.
