One possible problem to consider here is that if the BOD makes such a
statement they might open the SCA to just such lawsuits which we are
protected from now.  If the authority body of the SCA were to require that
all events make a "reasonable attempt" to have accessible sites, who defines
what a "reasonable attempt" is and could that land the SCA or even local
groups in the middle of a lawsuit?   That is why the BOD has to be very
careful in any rulings they make.
