RE: [EOWG] No meeting 17 April

Hi Shawn, Brent, and Sharron,

I wanted to let you know that I have been sharing the extension of the accessibility course to multiple channels at the Library.  We have many people looking for work at home.  I have suggested that supervisors could schedule the course as an assignment.   A few people have also reinforced this idea.  I'm not sure if it will get traction but will keep pushing the idea.

Subject: [EOWG] No meeting 17 April

Hello EOWG,

There will be no teleconference meeting on Friday, 17 April.

While there is no meeting, there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes:

  *   The WAI Curriculum Task Force is being organized and initial meetings/work being planned
  *   ATAG Report Tool (ART) survey results are being analyzed and driving continued edits/updates to move draft closer to version 1 release
  *   The Accessibility Roles & Responsibilities Mapping (ARRM) small team is working on refining the decision tree and role definitions
  *   Editors are refining the WCAG Support Material redesign requirements document and user scenarios
  *   The 2020 EOWG Draft Charter is being reviewed and comments will be addressed as we go through the re-chartering process

Thank you all for helping us move these valuable projects along each and every week.

Also, a reminder that the W3Cx Introduction to Web Accessibility MOOC<https://www.edx.org/course/web-accessibility-introduction> [1] has been extended through May. Take the course and tell others about it!

Thanks,
Brent, Sharron, and Shawn
