In accordance with the SWG-A project plan, the JTC 1 SWG on Accessibility will send a technology domain filtered version of the Gap Analysis Model for Global Accessibility Standards and Guidelines to international/regional/national standard developers, provide directions on how to use the model to profile their standards and aid them by personal dialogue if necessary in completing the profile.
