To liaise with the disability community to gather accessibility related feedback on the OpenDocument v1.0 specification. 2. To gather accessibility related feedback from implementors of accessible applications that implement OpenDocucument v1.0. 3. To produce a formal accessibility evaluation of the OpenDocument v1.0 file format. *Deliverables* 1. A formal accessibility evaluation of the OpenDocument v1.0 specification. 2. A (possibly empty) list of accessibility information that is not defined in OpenDocument v1.0, and whose absence makes it impossible for applications to implement accessibility enhancements. *Scope of work* The subcommittee's work is to ensure that OpenDocument schema allows to store the information that is required by applications aimed at allowing people with disabilities to access properly the content of OpenDocument documents. *Manner and schedule of work* The work of the subcommittee will be primarily through a mail list set up by OASIS for subcommittee work. Access by the public will be through an openly available mail list archive. Conference calls will be scheduled on a regular basis as agreed by the subcommittee after its formation. Rich and I had some discussions with Michael Brauer about SC goals, and his suggestion was: The SC charter must mention the statement of purpose an the deliverables. If I merge your proposal into the existing charter, I get something like: Statement of purpose 1. To liaise with the disability community to gather accessibility related feedback on the OpenDocument specification. 2. To gather accessibility related feedback from implementors of accessible applications that implement OpenDocucument. Deliverables 1. Accessibility related guidelines for OpenDocument implementors and users. 2. Proposals for accessibility enhancements. The statement of purpose is more or less what we had, except that I removed the ODF version numbers and the third item. The deliverables are new. I'm sure you find a much better wording for them than me.
