Decision:   The Usage Board approves the addition of a new
element -- "Accessibility" -- as a Recommended term in the 
dcterms namespace. 

Discussion

The Accessibility Working Group proposed the addition of 
the new term: "accessibility." The DCMI Usage Board reviewed 
the proposal at a meeting in Shanghai, China on Sunday, October
10, 2004. Members present were Tom Baker (chair), Diane Hillmann, 
Akira Miyazawa, Andy Powell, Rebecca Guenther, Traugott Koch 
and Stuart Sutton (designated shepherd of the accessibility
term proposal).

Discussion of the proposal centered on the clear expression of 
community need for this term and its relationship to other
initiatives such as IMS.  The Board refined both the Definition
and the Comment.  Information in the proposed description relating
the the machine-addressability of values was moved to Comments 
as a best practice statement leaving the Definition more general 
and inclusive.
