Anyone maintaining the "Policies Relating to Web Accessibility" page?


Hi,

It seems the Policies Relating to Web Accessibility page is very out of
date. Is anyone tasked with maintaining the information? I can help with
some of the countries that I follow, but I know there are new regulations
in the works for several countries, as well as the update of standards used
in many countries to use WCAG 2.0 that I don't have all of the information
for. Perhaps there could be a newsletter call for help from participants in
other countries to gather the info to update that page.

In addition, I think there should be a section describing the UNCRPD as a
prime mover for countries to adopt standards and policies regarding the
promotion of developing accessibility standards worldwide - including in
the web space.  One of the prime targets of UNCRPD is for ratifying
countries to ensure access to information and technology to people with
disabilities.

Who should I work with to help out?


Best regards,
