Request by DOIT for the committee to pre-review state agency requests for consulting services to bring web sites into compliance with the state policy - the committee agreed to do this.

The State of Connecticut Accessibility Committee has been invited to attend "The Americans with Disabilities Act: 12 Years of Progress"; a conference being presented by the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities and the State Office of Protection and Advocacy for Persons with Disabilities. The conference is Thursday, June 6, 2002 from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Old Judiciary Room at the State Capitol in Hartford, Connecticut.
It was agreed that the CMAC Accessibility brochure, which was first printed in 2000, should be brought up-to-date and reprinted, for distribution at the conference. Kathleen and Anita will work on this.
On May 9, 2002 the Department of Information Technology sent a notice to IT Consultants requiring that they receive Web Site Accessibility training offered through the State of Connecticut and that only those Consultants trained by the State will be authorized to work in the categories listed in the notice. The deadline for training is July 1, 2002.
A discussion was held on the best way to make the State's Accessibility initiative a higher priority for those agencies that still have not made their web sites compliant with the state policy. Kathleen requested that follow up phone calls be completed by Friday, May 24, 2002.
