At the September 2006 meeting of the JTC 1 SWG on Accessibility, the reconstitution of SWG-A Ad Hoc 8 (Outreach) was approved:

SWG-A Brussels Resolution 21: Reconstitution of Ad Hoc 8 on Outreach

The JTC 1 Special Working Group on Accessibility reconstitutes Ad Hoc 8 on Outreach with a new scope:

to continually review and maintain the SDO Outreach (currently SWG-A N 213) and Disability Organization Outreach (currently SWG-A N 214) presentations and materials

to further develop informational materials as appropriate

to maintain a matrix of committees where SWG-A members are involved and to whom they can take the presentation (and when)

to issue a call to SWG-A members to find “missionary” volunteers to give presentations to groups where no SWG-A members are involved and to coordinate dissemination of the Fostering User Participation and Involvement document (SWG-A N 210)

to assist ad hocs in generating feedback or question forms for their areas

Ad Hoc Leader: Dr. Kate Grant (JTC 1/SC 29). Participants: Mr. Tom Albin (US), Ms. Helle Bjarnø (Visual Impairment Knowledge Centre), Ms. Judy Brewer (W3C/WAI), Mr. Andy Heath (UK), Ms. Mary Frances Laughton (Canada) and Mr. Yoshihiko Nakano (Japan). A call for additional ad hoc participants will be issued.

Unanimous
