JTC-1 SWG-A Special Working Group on Accessibility Wide membership open to all Standards Development Organisations, consortia, consumer organisations and user representatives
Introduction to the SWG-A • Formed to track all global, regional and national standards, laws, policies/measures and guidelines related to ICT accessibility to ensure the necessary standards are available by: • gathering user requirements • publishing an inventory of all known accessibility standards efforts • identifying areas/technologies where accessibility issues are not being addressed • providing wide dissemination of SWG materials to all interested parties
Benefits of being involved • Ensuring your standards reflect user needs • Assisting in the development of public policy • Ensuring your work is disseminated through the SWG to all the other groups involved • Helping to avoid duplicate work and to identify collaborative opportunities • Helping prioritise work to meet emerging needs
What is your reward for working with us • More outreach for your activities • contact with wide variety of bodies (SWG membership) • Better, wider understanding of the accessibility features in your standards • Inclusion in the inventory of standards • Participation in mapping of user needs to your standards • Chance to use the methodology (& refine it)
Time schedule • Gathering data for the initial inventory of accessibility standards efforts completed in the following domains • PC hardware, software in general, communications, consumer electronics, public access terminals • Preliminary mapping of user needs to some exemplar standards completed Dec 06 • SWG-A activities reported to JTC1 plenary (November 2006)
Updates to inventory • One form per standard, can complete electronically, SWG-A will collate the data • Information requested • judgment on areas of applicability • applicable domains • geographical applicability • url for the standard • links to/relationship with other standards • status of the standard
Mapping the User Needs to your standard • Ideally do it within your organisation, you are the experts • Sample user needs mapping provided to help (and email support available) • Complete the mapping for each specification, starting with your key standards (although even partial mapping is helpful) • Identifying commonality of approach across your standards would be helpful
What sort of standards are the SWG-A interested in? • Anything in the ICT sector • including PC hardware, software in general, communications, consumer electronics, public access terminals and more • A general standard with a specific section on ICT equipment is still relevant • eg design for ageing (Canada)
