Hello,

The Sakai Accessibility Working Group meets today, Thursday March 24th, 2011 at 2pm Eastern / 11am Pacific.

The focus of Today's meeting will be 3rd party accessibility certification of Sakai 2.x. We will be joined by Ian Dolphin and Alan Berg to discuss the issues around going for certification.

If there is time left after that, we will go over any questions on open JIRAs and the Accessibility Review.

Thanks - and Please feel free to attend!
