Has this program manager been in touch with Naomi Black - Her email is <EMAIL REMOVED> <mailto: <EMAIL REMOVED> >. Naomi was, I believe, the YouTube/Google program manager responsible for improving its accessibility, at least some years ago when several NIH and other Federal employees met with her at Google's DC office.

What if the first question we asked was, "what is so unique about this situation that it justifies exclusion? instead of, "how much does it cost to make it accessible?

Subject: [WebAIM] YouTube Accessibility

A program manager at Google is interested in YouTube accessibility.

I've looked at the site and find that you can't click the "upload" link with Jaws and there is at least one unlabeled flash button that reads as "zero".

Does anyone else have observations I should get to him?
