This is the policy we use at CSULB for purchasing.

Dear EOWG Members,

This is the procecure we use to evaluate contracted Web pages, 
purchased web products and web content we produce ourselves.  For 
those members outside of the US this documentation is based on 
Section 508 of the Fedral Rehabilitation Act.

When Tom Jewett and I realized that WCAG 2.0 was easier to 
implement that 508, we linked the two standards. The linking 
property was user need. This document links 508 to a textual 
guide to the W3C techniques that apply to a given 508  rule.  We 
found that this language, though technical, was easier to 
interpret by technically oriented managers and purchasing agents.

For developers who want to do business with us, we include direct 
links to the exact WCAG 2.0 success criteria and associated "How 
to meet" sufficient techniques.

I have quickly made a web version form word.  It is located at:

http://www.csulb.edu/~wed/public/Letters/VPATWCAG.html

It is not difficult reading.

You will see some additional CSULB criteria at the end.  These 
are directly from WCAG 2.0.

The last CSULB criterion is a general EIT clause of Section 508. 
It is roughly equivalent to "accessibility  supported".  It 
states that a web technology cannot break accomodations that are 
provided by the base operating system.

Sincerely,

Wayne
