SWG-A Sheffield Resolution 2: Establishment of a Task Group on
User Requirements (SWG Objective 1)
In order to implement the gathering of user requirements, as per SWG
Objective 1, and being mindful of the varied and unique opportunities, the
JTC 1 SWG on Accessibility establishes a Task Group on User Requirements
with the following Terms of Reference:
- The task group will seek participation from application area users
(user organizations as well as end users) and will involve and reference
existing efforts rather than duplicating their work. National Bodies,
as well as other SWG members, will be asked to encourage, and if possible,
facilitate end user participation on this task group activity.
- The task group will also seek participation and input from regional
research initiatives/programs as an additional source of information for
this activity.
- The task group will develop a detailed plan for this activity taking
into consideration the following:
- management of the plan
- measurable outcome (including metrics as to when the User Needs
Summary is mature enough to be used in the gap analysis)
- how the information gathered will be structured and coded and where
the information will be stored
- mapping of the domain
- 2-3 year plan for the activity
- resourcing the activity: who and how
- no prioritization of user requirements
- synchronize timeline of activity with the Task Group on Accessibility
Standards Inventory
- Document JTC 1 N 7735 (User Needs Summary) is remanded to the task
group for consideration as a starting point for documenting user requirements.
- Dr. Gregg Vanderheiden will serve as the editor of the user requirements
summary.
- The following National Bodies and organizations expressed their intent
to participate on this task group: Australia, Canada, France, Germany,
Norway, UK, US, CEN/TC 224/WG 6, ITI, ITU-T SG 16, JTC 1/SC 7, JTC 1/SC
35, and W3C/WAI. A call for participation will be issued following
the Sheffield meeting.
- The first task group meeting should be contiguous with the meeting
of the Task Group on Accessibility Standards Inventory and Gap Analysis
and should be held the week of 18 July 2005. Mr. John Gill and Mr. Michael
Takemura are appointed Co-Conveners of the JTC 1 SWG on Accessibility Task
Group on User Requirements.
- The Task Group on User Requirements will report on its progress at
the September 2005 meeting of the JTC 1 SWG on Accessibility.
