[Cato] WACTC Tech - be careful what you ask for

[Ward Naf]

No kidding, great job Terence and Mark. Did they say anything specific about the inventory tool? Haven’t gotten any comments on the requirements document yet, and we are hoping to get started on it next week.

WACTC Tech has given us the charge of developing a system-wide approach to testing. More specifically we are charged with:



·         Developing a proposal to leverage the resources of the WACTC to address accessibility testing and remediation requirements in a cost-effective, equitable and responsive manner.

·         Consulting with the appropriate commissions on the development of the proposal.

·         Delivering the resulting proposal to WACTC for its consideration no later than May, 2018.

I talked to the Chair of HRMC (he happens to head up HR at Cascadia) and he has space for us on HRMC’s agenda next week (Thursday). I am in Washington DC that day . . . would anyone else be able to represent CATO? If so, let me know and we can debrief/strategize.



I am going to try and put together an engagement plan over the weekend for all of us to think about/comment on.



Terence



P.S. After looking at California’s Community Colleges website it does not appear that they address testing. A field trip may be worth considering.
