Meeting: Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) 
         First Technical Working Group Meeting
---------------------------------------------------------------------------


This message to invite you to participate in the first technical
working group meeting of the WAI project.

Date:   Thursday, May 22, 1997 
        (day following the HTML/CSS working group meetings
                 held at the same location)
Location: W3C/INRIA Sophia Antipolis - France (near Nice)

Hotel information and directions will be posted on the Web shortly.

This is a full day event organized as a joint meeting of three new
working groups created by the WAI project:
  Working group for Technology development (extension of HTML, HTTP, CSS). 
  Working group on Guidelines and StyleGuide (for HTML and tools)
  Working group on Advanced development (PICS, Phonetic markup, etc)

A full agenda and details on the venue will be sent to you no later
than April 28th 1997.

The Procedure is as follow:

1. Read the briefing package at 
   http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Disabilities/access-brief
   to learn about the WAI project (if you haven't done so yet).

2. Before May 5th, 1997, Register using the form at
   http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Disabilities/970522/Reg.html

3. Register to the mailing lists that best suit your level of
   participation for future WAI events.


Regarding point 3 on WAI project participation, we have created two
mailing lists:

address@hidden: Technical Working Group mailing list
                   to discuss html/css/guidelines/pics/etc
 
address@hidden: Interest Group: overall progress, announcement of
                   face-to-face meetings, etc 
 
(we will also have address@hidden later on, when the IPO is active,
to discusss Education/Awereness aspects)
 

You can now register to address@hidden if you want to
actively participate in technical and guidelines discussions, and to
address@hidden if you just want to follow the project
progress from a distance.

Next meetings will only be announced on the address@hidden and
address@hidden list, so if you don't register to one of these
lists, you won't be hearing from us again :-).

Our second technical working group meeting for the WAI project will
probably be held in the US, in the Boston area, on August 5th 1997.

You may contact Daniel Dardailler (address@hidden) if you have
questions about the WAI project or the above process.

Thank you.
