Dear EOWG: Please review the following draft document, which we will discuss at our face-to-face meeting on Monday morning, using the questions below. I will have copies available, including large print, and a copy on a key. As Shawn will not be able to join us for Monday morning due to travel complications, we have flipped around the agenda so that she can be there on Tuesday when we start discussing documents that she had been working on. I'm sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused in your preparations for the meeting, but I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the document. This is an initial, very rough draft of a document on promoting and advocating for Web accessibility, which the User Materials Task Force (UMTF) had started conceptualizing in third quarter 2006, and for which the UMTF had developed a requirements document. My apologies for not sending this first to the UMTF, but timing issues didn't allow for that. I am still hoping that we can reconvene the UMTF so that we can work further on this and other user materials. Please disregard editorial things such as the left navigation, which isn't properly worked out yet. (For background) User Materials Task Force: http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/2006/users_tf (For brief discussion) Draft requirements document, and change log. http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/changelogs/cl-promote.html (if this does not yet included all personas described in UMTF meetings or or UMTF list, these will be discussed/added later) (For in-depth discussion) Draft document: PROMOTING AND ADVOCATING FOR WEB ACCESSIBILITY http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/promote/wd-promoting-20070115.php A "baker's dozen" of questions for discussion follows. We will need a careful change-logger for this discussion.: 1. General comments on the requirements document? 2. General comments on the approach in "Promoting and Advocating for Web Accessibility"? (PAWA) 3. Does the organization of the contents in PAWA work, or can you suggest a better organization? Can some of the sections in this draft be merged? 4. Does the focus of PAWA seem appropriate? 5. Are the perspective, tone, voice, and language level in the document effective, or do these need to be shifted? Could it reach more audiences if the voice were shifted a bit? 6. Is key information missing anywhere in the document? It doesn't currently included examples of letters; is this OK or would those be an important addition? 7. Does any of the information seem inessential for this kind of document? 8. Is the information clearly presented? 9. Should additional documents be linked as resources? 10. Are the strategies here well-explained, and would they be effective? 11. Do you have ideas for graphics that would work well with this document? 12. Other comments? 13. Any reflections back onto the requirements document, after we discuss this draft? See you shortly!
