For tomorrow's meeting, the update is here: http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/Developing_Training_Notes#Cautionary_Language and goes like this: These materials are meant to give structure to your own accessibility knowledge and help you to teach others. They are meant to be used freely, with acknowledgement of the source. You may adapt them as needed. If you are the "accidental accessibility expert" and are new to accessibility yourself, however, you are wise to be well prepared. It is important and valuable to your colleagues and communities to share accessibility information. Understand your own level of knowledge and remember that no one knows everything about accessibility. While you will certainly want to become very familiar with the materials you are presenting, you are likely to have certain areas where your expertise is stronger than others. If you are unsure of some concepts or techniques, you may want to seek support on the WAI Interest Group list or one of the other related community groups. Be very open with your audience about your background and level of expertise. You are sure to get questions and requests for more information as you present these materials and it is fine to admit when you don't know the answer. In fact, a question that you do NOT know the answer to is often a great opportunity to explore additional WAI Resources with your audience.
