Subject: Accessibility Sub Committee
Dear TC members,
one of the suggestions of the OpenDocument Summit in Amonk regarding the
OpenDocument TC is to create an accessibility sub committee. While there
are other suggestions that we may want to discuss in the TC, I propose
that we care about this suggestion first.
The formation of a subcommittee is described in section 2.14 of the
OASIS Technical Committee Process:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#2.14
Below is a proposal for a charter for an Accessibility Sub Committee
(ASC). It to the best of my knowledge covers what has been discussed so
far regarding accessibility of the OpenDocument file format itself, and
what also is in the scope of our TC's charter.
What we may want to discuss in our con call on Monday is not only the
founding of an Accessibility Sub Committtee itself, but also who should
be involved in the ASC, and a schedule for the foundation of the sub
committee. We may also discuss whether it is required or reasonable to
have a con call with accessibility experts prior to the foundation of an
Accessibility Sub Committee.
Best regards
Michael

The subcommittee's work is to ensure that OpenDocument schema allows to
store the information that is required by applications aimed at allowing
people with disabilities to access properly the content of OpenDocument
documents.

The work of the subcommittee will be primarily through a mail list set
up by OASIS for subcommittee work. Access by the public will be through
an openly available mail list archive.
