Hi Ian, > Laura, in the interests of the collaboration you espouse, could you reply > to the e-mail I wrote to you last month? Taking sides and placing blame will not help collaboration. It is counterproductive. But I agree the time has come to face the future. This is a time of a thousand opportunities. It is ours to reach out and move forward together with WAI. > I most recently tried to approach the WAI on the topic of <canvas> [snip other initiatives]. These are all very good, Ian. I appreciate your recent efforts. The table headers issue is the only progress that happened with the accessibility issues in the past two years. That took people from PF and the HTML WG actually talking, truly debating, and collaborating at a face-to-face meeting. I think that collaboration is about only way to move the accessibility issues forward. Task forces like Steve just mentioned on issues such as canvas may lead the way. > I look forward to further collaborations with the WAI Excellent. Thank you. Critical to collaboration is the commitment of people in leadership roles to support the effort. Best Regards, Laura -- Laura L. Carlson
