Growing Access Services: What would you like to have at Arisia 2010?

Kes: This is a crosspost
of the survey I just posted to the Arisia community LJ. If possible, please reply on the Arisia LJ in order to encourage conversation.

Arisia is committed to being an event which promotes diversity among
its attendees, doing its best to address members' access issues and
accommodation requests. This year Arisia is trying to grow Access
Services. While Access Services has a small budget, we believe that
access is an attitude, and with a willingness to listen and the
application of imagination and innovation, we'll be able to do better.

And steampunk dragons.

But mostly--kestrels!

Alexx and I were playing this on the t last night ont he way home from the Arisia Con Com meeting, which is veeeeeerrrry dangerous, as we are prone to getting caught up in questions such as "Okay, we have gungie cord, what do we attach that to?" (the fire hydrant was not as robust a solution as I had hoped).
