community group for individuals interested in contributing to the development and maintenance of the Accessibility Roles and Responsibilities Mapping (ARRM) framework. </p> <p>The purpose of the ARRM is to guide web teams (designers, developers and content creators) and subject matter experts in successfully distributing accessibility responsibilities by roles in a web development lifecycle, so that every stakeholder understands the role that they have to play in embedding accessibility requirements and best practices in their workflow in order to make digital content more usable to - and inclusive of - people with various types of disabilities.</p> <p>This group will not publish Specifications.</p> <figure> <figcaption>Group's public email, repo and wiki activity over
