Hi everyone, A while back when I first started sharing new access issues with paypal, someone suggested I discover the person responsible for accessibility there. I have a name, a linked-in profile, even a job description. However none of the at least 25 Paypal supervisors with whom i have had discussions over the past several months, know her, or can reach her if a customer is meeting with an accessibility issue. My latest? The previously functional from the keyboard button on invoice forms labeled pay now, is coded as harmless. Doing nothing when using an enter key in elinks. a browser that is more java script friendly then others like links or certainly lynx, all of which are distributed in Linux packages like Ubuntu. I will place her information below. https://www.linkedin.com/in/cathy-o-connor-407a56 Cathy O'Connor Program Manager, Accessibility at PayPal Program Manager, Accessibility PayPal November 2014 ~V Present )|PayPal Keeping PayPal products and services accessible to people of all abilities. Make sure product managers, designers and developers understand why accessibility is important by using simulations and assistive technology to gain first-hand experience of how people use computers differently in our accessibility showcase. Provide consulting, training and tools to make it as easy as possible for teams to design, develop and deliver products that can be used by as many people as possible. Given her job description, why is there no way to report the issues she is paid to address? Granted the simulations sentence concerns me, reading a bit like pretending to experience a disability. I find it difficult to understand how someone could secure this job knowing noting of... www.w3c.org/wai Anyone know if she is a real person? Thanks, Karen
