OK, so if I understand this correctly - I've started to get lost in the who
supports which recommendation category :-) - we will keep the Google
Calendar as the administrative interface for events. Only administrators can
approve and add events. The current administrators are myself and Jim.

The calendar is at http://teitac.org/calendar/ This page indicates that
individuals should contact Jim or I to add events. Other AB staff or
subcommittee chairs can be given admin access on request. I also understand
that this calendar is only for committee and sub-committee activities.

In regards to accessibility, all events are displayed in plain HTML in
addition to the Google Calendar iframe. The calendar that is embedded within
the wiki will go away (because it can't display event in HTML).

I'm not sure what was meant about "no software development". If it was in
reference to the Add Events form, that is just a matter of my copying and
pasting some code and adding form labels to an existing form. I think if we
can get a few more administrators to add/manage events, especially for their
own subcommittees, then the form won't be necessary.

I believe this addresses the issues at hand. If I'm missing something, let
me know.
