SWG-A 2008 Tokyo Resolution 19:  Establishment of Ad Hoc 13 on Policies and Scoping of Accessibility for Web Sites and Content for ISO and IEC Work 

The JTC 1 Special Working Group on Accessibility establishes Ad Hoc 13 on Policies and Scoping of Accessibility for Web Sites and Content for ISO and IEC Work. The ad hoc will complete the response to SWG-A N 315 (JTC 1 Chairman’s correspondence concerning JTC 1 web site accessibility issues), allowing several days for feedback only on scoping of the work between ISO, IEC, and National Bodies; and on ongoing interaction between the ad hoc and responsible parties. The ad hoc will also provide feedback to ISO/IEC staff on the development of an accessibility policy, and may be available to coach/mentor ISO/IEC staff in the translation of the accessibility policy into associated procedures to implement accessible web sites. The leader of Ad Hoc 13 will work with the JTC 1 ITSIG Liaison to convey the SWG-A’s inputs on the ISO e-Services Guide. A call for additional ad hoc participants will be issued. Ad Hoc Leader:  Ms. Josée Auber (France).  Participants:  Ms. Judy Brewer (W3C/WAI), Mr. Andy Heath (UK and JTC 1/SC 36); Ms. Liddy Nevile (Australia and JTC 1/SC 36); Dr. Kate Grant (UK and JTC 1/SC 29), Ms. Janina Sajka (Linux Foundation) and Mr. Toshihiro Suzuki (Japan).
