technology will be measured for UA readiness. 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.</span></p>

budget figure, the org team has reviewed past year actuals and
future work planned and does not believe the budget figure will
negatively impact the work plan for the UA Steering Group.
