The quick answer is that they should. If not, you are providing RA-Reasonable Accommodation. If yes, you are providing ID-Inclusive Design, where all documents are accessible to all.

Consider this scenario . You get someone that works internally and happens to be blind. Now, you have to go through all of those documents and ensure they are accessible.

If you prioritize public first and internal second. You can set your priorities and still provide inclusive design. If a person with a disability requires to use such documentation at any point in time, they will be accessible. If they are not, then you have a problem on your hands.
