Once the gaps are identified, the remediation will take different forms, including the following: For programming languages and frameworks and for the email tools, an outreach effort will be organized to inform their maintainers of the gaps and need for them to support UA readiness. In addition, training will be organized for software developers and email administrators to highlight the UA readiness gaps in deployment of applications and services (including websites and email services) and how to address them.

Additionally, this budget figure does not include the full time UA manager being hired within GDD to support the UA work."
