Hi all,

I;d like to float an idea past you all. I was wondering whether I should
email any partners whose websites have tons of accessibility red flags to
tell them about it and why it's important to fix those issues. While our
partners don't represent us, they do mention our company by name when they
list and sell our courses on their sites. Frankly, I'd like to make it a
requirement that any partner sites need to be at least WCAG 2.0 A
complaint. That's not that hard to accomplish by a tech team worth their
salt. What do you guys think? Would it be appropriate for us to require
or even to suggest this?

Thanks,
