The JTC 1 SWG on Accessibility approved the establishment of the
following Task Group 2 ad hocs to work between the September 2006 and April
2007 meetings of the JTC 1 SWG on Accessibility:
- Ad Hoc 9 on User Needs Mapping and Gap Analysis: Established
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:
- Confirm ISO Guide 71 - Ms. Andi Snow-Weaver (US)
- Confirm ISO 9241-20 - Dr. Hajime Yamada (Japan) and Ms. Andi
Snow-Weaver (US)
- JIS X 8341-5 - Mr. Shigetoyo Nomura (Japan)
- ISO 9241-171 - Dr. Jim Carter (Canada) and Dr. Gregg Vanderheiden

- ITU-T F.700 and E.135 - Ms. Josée Auber (France)
- EN 1332-4 - Dr. John Gill (UK)
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.
- Ad Hoc 10 on User Needs Document Maintenance: Established
to compile additional comments, additions or proposed changes to
the User Needs Summary for future consideration. Questions or
requests for clarification on the User Needs Summary will be addressed
by this ad hoc. Ms. Andi Snow-Weaver (US) will lead this ad hoc.
- Ad Hoc 11 on Reference Materials for the User Needs Summary:
Established to develop and use a template/format to gather reference
materials for the User Needs Summary. Ms. Mary Frances Laughton
(Canada) will lead this ad hoc.
