Help me compose a rant.... I mean rebuttal.

I am on a committee of a conventions and we are talking policy. We are talking about medical documentation requirements for accommodations, and I am having a hard time finding the right words to tell them why this is a /terrible/ idea, and as a newb of sorts, I'd love to have some authority to stand on. Is there a good blog post or website out there already outlining the reasons why that is a bad requirement, and why?

Thank you.

(I promise, my next post will have content)

In the united states, it may be so difficult to ask for the documentation legally that the lawyers' fees to protect the con from an ADA lawsuit will be more money than the free aide membership. Requiring documentation for accommodations is legally fraught (as it should be).
