Elle-

I was very be-fuddled by this. The instructions didn't make it clear, so I thought maybe I would be able to figure out what to do when the time came up, but it didn't really work out that way. I finally pieced it all together. (I think.)

What they wanted was a specific time when people interested in a particular topic could comment and vote, to reap the benefits of synchronicity. However, the IdeaScale tool doesn't have features that support that. While I was waiting for a chat window to pop open (or something) Jared, Sharron, and Jim were apparently waiting for folks to comment or vote on existing topics or to open new ones. I had already been doing that all along, so I didn't have a whole lot more to contribute during the session.

Everyone-

It is not too late to comment! Sharron Rush pulled together a very nice list of all the ideas about or that intersect with accessibility as of this morning: http://web-reform-dialogue.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Accessibility-Focused-Dialogue-a-Thon/83831-4097 You can also find items that have been tagged with "accessibility" http://web-reform-dialogue.ideascale.com/a/ideafactory.do?mode=tag&;tag=accessibility

The Dialogue is only open through September 30, so don't dawdle!
