20 years of using structured negotiation instead of suing yields concrete results: first web-accessibility agreement with Bank of America in 2000, Walmart commits to talking prescription labels in 2012, recent deals with Rite Aid and Humana, Netflix pledges audio description, and dozens of settlements require a coordinator, independent testing, usability trials and a published accessibility policy.
