I think this is a great idea, especially in showing that we want to step
up to the plate in resolving the impasse.

One question I have.  What type of testing do you have in mind?  Who
would be the testers and what would they need to have in order to
provide good testing results?

I think finding the proper testers for a11y stuff is always a challenge
and I want to make sure we have adequate people around on that day,
whatever designated day we all settle upon.
