www2012 Accessibility goals
The main goal is to help the organization committee for anything about accessibility.
Venue, rooms, communication, information, … anything has to be checked for accessibility assessment.
It is probably impossible to reach an ideal accessibility level, but it seems very important to develop specific methods, tools, protocols in order to assess all the types of accessibility and to help organizers to enhance it.
The first task is to gather documentation, best practices, tools, and people around the global task of accessibility.
The second task is to provide help for organizers to make good choices and to communicate about them.
The last task is to build a « book of good practices » for organizing accessible scientific conferences.
