-    <p> WAI IG connects those who want  to be informed of W3C accessibility work and share input on accessibility  issues. Some subscribed to the mailing lists participate in one W3C working group and want to be informed of  work in other groups; most do not participate in other W3C groups.</p>
-    <p>Reaching beyond those active  in other W3C work to increase awareness of W3C accessibility materials and soliciting  input on developing materials is a key aspect of W3C's mission related to  accessibility. The WAI IG mailing lists historically served as a primary method  for this connection; and while other methods such as social media are now also used,  the WAI IG mailing lists continue to be an important method for connection with  W3C accessibility work.</p>
