I am excited to be presenting an accessibility workshop for #InnovateUS. I will be focusing on taking a role-based approach for accessibility. Subject-matter experts (SME) have their role, but too often responsibilities in government are hardened and accessibility becomes someone else's responsibility. Taking a role-based approach can fix barriers earlier in the project's lifecycle.

More details about the end of #IPv4 in state services: On 18th of December 2013 Czech #government decided that every service provided by Czech state has to be available on #IPv6 and be protected by #DNSSEC by 30th of June 2015. Yesterday a followed up action has been agreed on. On 6th of June 2032, IPv4 will be disabled on all services offered by Czech republic and they will be only available on IPv6 from that day on. Apart from that, every June starting from 2025, Czech government will get a report on how are the preparations.

Overall seems like a bold move, but I totally support it! IT sends a message, that #IPv4 is over and everybody should move to #IPv6 already. And even government - the definition of conservative and bureaucratic institution - gets it. Then why shouldn't you embrace it 😉

Anyone know what happened with the Australian Government's Notify instance https://notify.gov.au/

The Department of Justice should resume reporting on federal compliance with
Section 508 requirements. Section 508 requires DOJ to report on the federal #government’s
compliance with #Section508 every two years. However, DOJ has not issued a report since
2012. In response to bipartisan Aging Committee oversight, #DOJ recently committed to
issuing its first report in a decade.

I like this potential change for US federal government contractors, would like to see this more broadly implemented - https://www.govexec.com/management/2022/11/heres-what-contracting-community-thinks-new-proposed-rule-climate-reporting/379761/ - we need to see that our incentives line up with #ClimateAction

Interesting to see government challenges trying to get involved in a community that they don't understand. #Discord & #Mastodon are obviously very different, but wondering what "Gotchas" there might be for #government sites exploring alternative #SocialMedia accounts.

As people flock from #Twitter, there will be new things watch for.
