Subject: W3C/WAI Symposium on Text Customisation
Dear colleagues,
I wanted to ask, if you could help distributing the following information in the next newsletter. It is at rather short notice, but I think it is of importance for the community. Several more such symposia will be held over the next year.
Many thanks and best greetings

RDWG Background:
The Research and Development Working Group (RDWG) helps:
- increase accessibility considerations in research on web technologies, including mainstream research,
- suggest research questions that may contribute to web accessibility research projects,
- inform development of web accessibility solutions,
- decrease the number of potential barriers in future web-related technologies.
RDWG Symposia bring together researchers, practitioners, and users with disabilities interested in a particular aspect of web accessibility to advance research and development in that area. The online Symposia include a panel with the authors of accepted papers, and provide an opportunity for participants to ask questions. Symposia proceedings, transcript, and a report are available publicly online afterward.
For more information, see the RDWG FAQ: <http://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/process>
We welcome your ideas on this topic and your ideas for future RDWG work.
