Hi there Jan, Thanks for this - looking at these it seems there is a high degree of synergy between UAAG and some of the Personalisation Roadmap and I would hope our experience would be called up on for some of it. In some ways I like to think of accessibility as mainly a case of extreme personalisation. Do you think it is worth talking about this and interacting more with the personalisation people?
