Re: Model for an accessible ticketing website

Oh no, the accessibility of the Kennedy Center website is a battle that
Betty has been fighting (and losing) for years. It is typical of what
happens when accessibility is compartmentalized, in my opinion. This is
likely a larger discussion about why accessibility expertise should *not*
be siloed off into one person's area of responsibility. The idea of an
"accessibility professional" becomes meaningless when there is no
integration of that expertise and advice into daily practice.

I am sorry I did not make clear that I was not recommending the Kennedy
Center website as a model but only pointing to their Guide for ticket sales
as an excellent set of principles. Do as they say, not as they do :)

Best,
Sharron
