1st pass user needs mapping (direct mapping): Step through user needs. Identify provision(s) in the standard that directly address specific user needs and record the specific clause of the standard addressing the user need as "directly addressing". Optionally include the text of provisions.These instructions will also include information on how mapping is recorded and reported.
2nd pass user needs mapping (related mapping): Look at user needs not yet addressed. Identify other provision(s) in the standard that are related in any way to these user needs and record them as "related". Optionally record the text of provisions or the references and relationship type (type of matching).
Step 1 [New SWG-A ad hoc] performs User Needs Summary Version 1.0 Mapping – direct mapping of user needs to the sample set of accessibility standards and consolidates the results in a first pass gap analysis.Unanimous
Step 2 [SWG-A] sends out query to SDOs for user needs where (from the first pass gap analysis) it appears there are no standards (Do you have standards to cover these user needs?).
Step 3 [SWG-A] collects responses and revises the gap analysis.
Documents for the Norway meeting, particularly those raising new issues/new agenda items or those for which a final agreement at the meeting is desired, must be delivered to the Secretariat no later than 22 March 2007.The final agenda for adoption and use at the Norway meeting will be posted to the JTC 1 SWG on Accessibility web site on 9 April 2007.
A proposed document revision from a project editor or ad hoc, which incorporates comments received prior to the meeting and which is intended to be developed further at the meeting, provided they are received at the Secretariat's office in a form suitable for immediate posting, not later than 4 April 2007.
Comments on posted documents provided they are received at the Secretariat's office in a form suitable for immediate posting, not later than 4 April 2007.
