We are *not* a W3C member (i.e. non-W3C member.)

Area of interest: (Non W3C members please state area of expertise)
[Note: writing this as prose for succintness]
I have worked for some time now on XHTML, and XHTML m12n. I have a
disability myself, and have seen others struggle with site accessibility:
promoting me to research the area thoroughly. I am interested in making
XHTML accessible, especially using CSS (for example, I lobbied for inclusion
of an optional content property in CSS3). I am also heavily interested in
document semantics, and using meta-data for accessibility. I am committed
especially to pursuing the HTML and CSS techniques aspect of this WGs
charter. Other areas of experience: CC/PP, XML, XML Schemas, RDF, RDF
Schemas. I have authored a large amount of technical work and articles.

I *have* read the WC Guidelines Working Group Charter and agree to the
participation criteria therein (with the side-note exception that due to
disability I am unable to travel. I am however able to spend a considerable
amount of time working on the WG).

[Yes] To the best of my knowledge, I believe my organization does not have
any IPR claims regarding guidelines for the accessibility of Web content.

Thank you for your time and consideration: the level of public interaction
of this WG is highly appreciated.

Kindest Regards,
Sean B. Palmer
