I'd definitely be interested in being involved in these discussions too.
On the funder front, I'm wondering if there's an opportunity to influence accessibility via the current UKRI Open Access Review? https://www.ukri.org/funding/information-for-award-holders/open-access/open-access-review/
The current proposal from UKRI talks about accessibility, but focuses on availability of content; the only discussion about form I see is around making content machine-readable (I would guess from previous policy they have text and data mining in mind). The consultation does explicitly ask "To support the adoption of technical standards for OA, are there otherstandards, actions and/or issues UKRI should consider?" which feels like an opportunity.
Cheers,
Katie
