[community] communicating inclusive design en masse

I believe the three principles are the cornerstones of how we define and
communicate what we mean by inclusive design. However, I wonder how this
communication resonates with different audiences. I think it is important
to make sure all audiences receive the message in ways that leads to change
in perspective.  The principles help us communicate well to those who are
already proponents of inclusion. Others, such as business leaders,
corporations, public servants, students and educators may need to
understand what is in it for them and their organizations. I believe, as we
update our communication about the these principles of inclusive design, we
also need to keep these other audiences in mind and make sure our
communication address all audiences.

I would be delighted to have the opportunity to work with others on this
project.
