Do you think that on this list there still are members that need to be convinced about this things? Do you really think that there are members that can't understand the importance of accessibility and they need to be convinced, persuaded, motivated with nice words? Do you have such a bad idea about them?

The rest of your email seems to hinge on this point, so I'm just going
to address it here and if you feel like I left something out, let me
know.

The bottom line is that, yes, you do still have to convince people
that accessibility is important if you want them to do anything about
it. I have to do almost exactly the same thing in my field- everybody
knows that security is important, but every time I go to disclose a
vulnerability I have to be very careful if I want to convince the
vendor to fix the problem. During those discussions, an ounce of
civility is worth more than ten tons of righteousness, not only
because it helps convince people to do what you want but because they
frequently walk away from it feeling good about the experience and
eager to not make the same mistake again.
