Re: Strategic Plan intro

Hi Shawn,

I certainly like the succinctness of this. There are a couple of points that I included in the existing introduction that I think are quite important and could be included in your suggestion:

• Suggesting that accessibility is an intrinsic and ongoing activity and comparing to something like security. The aim is to promote the idea that accessibility is not a bolt on or a separate activity but should be seen as an integral part.
• Permission to explore the topics in any order and to revisit areas as things develop.

As a minor point, is this content suitable for CIOs? I could have thought it would be something dealt with by a subordinate to that office?

Thanks

Kevin

Therefore, I think we can change the button text to: "expand all key actions below", "collapse all key actions below" and then not need any extra explanation.
