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

Jess,
"We" asked that it be part of the charge . . . it's fair to say that WACTC does not have any expectations around the word. I included it to enable us to pursue "options" such as a service center for fixing website problems should stakeholders bring up that type of thing.
We have no plan yet, just a charge to embark on a process that will result in recommendations for WACTC to consider/approve.
Hope that answers the question.
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.
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.
