Microsoft Accessibility-- Ideas Requested
I have been invited to serve on the newly formed permanent Microsoft Accessibility Advisory Council (MAAC) which met for the first time this February in Seattle, WA. MAAC will also meet in-person three to four more times over the next two years as well as maintain an ongoing communication and effort through electronic means. This council is an outcome of last year's accessibility effort at Microsoft in which I also participated. Next week's meetings will encompass the full range of Microsoft's products and development efforts. Members of MAAC will meet with numerous Microsoft product managers and product developers.
If you have any thoughts on how Microsoft might be able to increase/enhance accessibility, either through its software products and/or services, please let me know. While I, personally, can envision several ways Microsoft could enhance accessibility in their products/services that would dramatically increase access to TRS, I definitely need your help and your ideas. I will be glad to share your ideas during my meetings at Microsoft.
Thanks for pinching in and lending me your brainpower!
