9. WEB ACCESSIBILITY STRATEGIC PLAN

10. Recap  Last meeting, results of the statewide AMP and CommonLook Clarity assessments of website accessibility were presented in summary.  This led to discussion of how to actively engage agencies to drive down violations, raising the idea that we should develop a strategic action plan for doing so.

11. Working Group  A working group was convened to draft a “framework” for this plan, to serve as a starting point.  Mike Burgess, Department of Labor  Kit Cole, The University of Kansas  Matt Powell, Historical Society  Cole Robison, OITS

12. Proposal  Meet with agency web developers individually in a hands-on workshop setting to work with them to address some of their most basic issues  Start slow, with a few “pilot” agencies  AMP data used in agency selection to target greatest potential impact

13. Proposal  Focus on in-house development  (Question: What to do about third-party development?)  HTML now, PDF later

14. Proposal  Handling of the way agencies are invited to participate is key  Informally when possible, to dispel any perception of onerousness  With executive leadership, so development staff know participation is “approved”

15. Proposal  3–4 hour sessions  On agency’s premises  Provide overview of AMP findings  + accessibility & 1210 intro if necessary  Work on agency’s content  Emphasize items that:  Are most critical  Can be addressed most quickly  Occur as global or pattern violations

16. OPEN DISCUSSION

17. Next Meeting Tuesday, October 14, 2014 Time: 2:30–4:30 PM Location: Landon State Office Building Room 509 900 SW Jackson Street
