Good afternoon hive-mind

Here at the Ri we have been doing some thinking about "Accessibility", and one of the ideas we are exploring is to have an "Accessibility Champion" who keeps up to date with current thinking and becomes our go-to person on such matters.

This is a new thing for us so I was wondering if there is anyone out there who does things in this way and could share some of their experience. In particular, how do we delimit that person's role, giving it enough responsibility but avoiding everyone else in the organisation switching off from what becomes "The Accessibility Champion's Problem".

All thoughts gratefully received!
