MH: looked up some definitions of accreditation
14:40:27 [shadi]
...often tends to accredit a body or person to perform certification
14:40:48 [shadi]
...just some semantic issues with the term "accreditation"
14:41:07 [shadi]
VC: agree, usually a body that certifies
14:44:57 [shadi]
MH: what about conformance?
14:50:03 [Vivienne]
Possibly use the title of "Accessibility Declaration"
14:50:27 [Vivienne]
It could include a declaration you make yourself - could be broadly used
14:51:52 [shadi]
SAZ: conformance is a state. a statement declares conformance (or progress towards conformance). accreditation is declaration of competency to make declarations.
14:52:24 [shadi]
YM: declarations can also include self-declarations
14:55:38 [shadi]
SAZ: limit to websites or also include the broader aspects of web accessibility?
14:55:42 [Vivienne]
SA: do we include discussions on the accessibility of tools, UAAG etc
14:55:46 [shadi]
MH: think the latter
14:57:06 [Vivienne]
zakim, mute me
14:57:06 [Zakim]
Vivienne should now be muted
14:57:36 [shadi]
SAZ: think we can still keep it brief, but mention tools and people where relevant
14:57:53 [shadi]
MH: traditionally had very discrete versioning of software
14:58:02 [shadi]
...now continually updated software
14:59:57 [mhakkinen]
http://www.accessibilityassociation.org/content.asp?contentid=163
15:00:00 [shadi]
...how do we certify living objects?
15:00:36 [shadi]
SAZ: also applicable to certifying people
15:02:04 [shadi]
...technologies change and evolve
15:02:17 [Vivienne]
zakim, unmute me
15:02:17 [Zakim]
Vivienne should no longer be muted
15:02:19 [shadi]
YM: but who certifies the certifiers?
15:02:35 [shadi]
...there are no standards and requirements
15:02:51 [shadi]
MH: AAIP working on this
15:03:00 [shadi]
SAZ: also other efforts in Europe
15:06:02 [shadi]

MH: mention the policy aspects as an incentive for delcarations
15:08:17 [shadi]
...products and services are expected to meet certain requirements
