• Wiki: Changed title to Access For All, added page to address goals
  *Listserve created – details of how to sign up will be sent by mail

We are trying to identify the areas that we might not be covering (enough), where we need to recruit expertise/user input on these areas and mechanisms for how to recruit these.

Looking at needs and preferences gaps not addresses by 24751/other profile standards:

• What is not addressed and what is inadequately addressed

• What do we need further input on

• We’re both looking at types of needs and contexts that isn’t expressible in current standards.

Previously Identified areas:

1. Cognitive access associated with aging (Gregg)

2. Linguistic access – what happens when you’re learning a second language/trying to function within non-primary language (OPAL group can provide aspect of linguistic needs in education area/second language learning), Jutta has contacts with English as a second language group in Canada. (Jutta)

Other:

1. Deaf/Blindness (Gregg)

2. Literacy (both dominant language and adopted language)

3. Non-speaking (Jutta)

4. Emotional and mental health (Jutta)

5. Technology literacy (e-literacy) (Andy)

6. Cultural preferences (huge variety – social networks, culture vs. social conventions, also tribal communities/tree hierarchal structure) (Jutta)
   
   

Contact via mail:

• Will be based on boiler plate from wiki

• The person who knows the group/context will personalize/word it appropriately for the group/person being invited

• Letters will be sent from chairs of group (Jutta/Gottfried)
  
  

Involving:

• Workshop/Webinar: we come to them and brief on where we are and get some input

• Some might want to participate in weekly meetings

• Jutta: Will post a two paragraph description of what were trying to do – will post it to the wiki – boiler plate for letters to groups (experts/end users)

• Contact to groups:

  • Jutta: Linguistic Access – English as a second language group in canada, (kasper: didn’t catch whether OPAL should be contacted as well)

  • Jutta: -Cultural Preferences_ – Jutta has two potential contacts, as well as contact to global first nations advocacy group.

  • Jutta: Emotional and mental health

  • Jutta: Non-speaking - (already has recruited, not sure if more needs to be done)

  • Literacy - ????

  • Andy: Technology literacy (e-literacy) – (UK drivers license thing)

  • Gregg: Cognitive Access associated with agingl

  • Gregg: Deaf blindness
