Well, it's accessible for *some* people...

National Youth Leadership Network Teleconference on Independent Media

Riiight. I really don't think I want to get a relay operator involved in that, to be honest...that'd just end up being chaotic for everyone. (And no, I don't see anything on the page about captioning being available... if that were the case, it wouldn't be Accessibility Fail, now, would it?)

Edited to add: Oh, and to add insult to injury, their contact page doesn't work. Or at least it didn't when I tried to submit the form.

Edited further to add: I did find a contact e-mail address via the Events page. I'll let y'all know what reply I get (because I'm quite curious myself!).

Edited still further to add: Got a response back. There will in fact be captioning, so this turns out not to be a case of fail; still, I think it would definitely have been good to have this information on the web site from the beginning, so that nobody felt left out by the announcement. (And I'm leaving this post up as a testament to why it's important to give that information from the beginning...)

That's not just Accessibility fail, that's also design fail, and probably many other kinds of fail hiding behind those two....
