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

[Rovner, Amy]

Or perhaps "remediation" in the context of working with vendors to get their products improved to meet the requirements?   Either way - great catch Jess and definitely needs clarification so everyone is on the same page...

Great job Mark & Terence!!

Quick question:



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.



Does this mean some form of document remediation service is part of the plan? (Obviously, that's separate from the inventory tool).



--Just caught that while preparing update to DSSC. That would be a BIG topic for them, so I don't want to bring it up if that's not what it sounds like.

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.

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.
