Yes.

Yes, I agree. I wrote it as something of a placeholder. To be honest I  
think it will take some time to get a clear sense among us all of the  
different groups we need to be working with, and for them to discover us.  
That is one reason why the list is suggestive, not exhaustive.

Correct.

I don't have a obvious list of names. I don't think it is necessary to  
work with standards bodies first, but in practical terms that is often  
most efficient (although not always - e.g. we might find some individuals  
can be extremely efficient in helping us understand and describe  
accessibility requirements, or that a developer community can collectively  
express certain requirements clearly and helpfully).

Thanks for the feedback. I'll modify the draft to add something.

cheers
