At the September 2006 meeting of the JTC 1 SWG on Accessibility,  the establishment of SWG-A Ad Hoc 9 (User Needs Mapping and Gap Analysis) was approved:
SWG-A Brussels Resolution 6:  Establishment of Ad Hoc 9 on User Needs Mapping and Gap Analysis

The JTC 1 Special Working Group on Accessibility establishes the Ad Hoc 9 on User Needs Mapping and Gap Analysis to do the User Needs Mapping and Gap Analysis on sample standards.  Ad Hoc Leaders: Dr. Jim Carter (Canada) and Dr. Hajime Yamada (Japan).  The following sample standards and initial participants were identified:
Additionally, the ad hoc will develop instructions (including examples of user needs mapping on a sample set of standards and draft standards) for use by SDOs.  The following overall method is recommended in the development of instructions:
1st pass user needs mapping (direct mapping):  Step through user needs. Identify provision(s) in the standard that directly address specific user needs and record the specific clause of the standard addressing the user need as "directly addressing". Optionally include the text of provisions.

2nd pass user needs mapping (related mapping):  Look at user needs not yet addressed. Identify other provision(s) in the standard that are related in any way to these user needs and record them as "related". Optionally record the text of provisions or the references and relationship type (type of matching).
These instructions will also include information on how mapping is recorded and reported.

A call for additional ad hoc participants will be issued.
