[Chapter-delegates] Once again: accessibility and ISOC's website [was: Happy new year!]

[Imran Anwar]

Thanks for your response below, Kathy.

I actually found the BY THE NUMBERS piece a useful tool. In this day and age Infographics are one of the best ways to convey information.

As a matter of fact I tweeted the graphic at https://twitter.com/ImranAnwar/status/553409932390039553 <https://twitter.com/ImranAnwar/status/553409932390039553> to my 14,000 or so followers.

Regards

Imran

The BY THE NUMBERs piece was an attempt to make data alive--something I think that is very important. Help us think through and perfect how to make these type of design experiments work for everyone.

> Lia Kiessling will be point on this for Staff. Expert input is key to the process so I asked her to reach out to you. There's also the Disability and Special Needs Chapter that both you and Lia can coordinate with.  I believe you have Lia's Skype details so I'll leave it with the two of you to start this needed process.​
