Then\nit's easy for the administrator (and with swcarpentry/amy#70, the\nevent organizer and associated instructors) to check off accessibility\nfeatures as they confirm them.  This also helps answer questions like\n“We're missing a sign-language translater.  Have any previous events\nat this site had one of those?” which might help with tracking down\nhow you can get one.\n"}}
