Hi Mary Jo,

Your timing is perfect. EOWG is just getting re-started updating that page.

Can we have a brief phone call to update you on the work? Sharron Rush (who
is EOWG co-chair with me) and I are available:
* Wednesday 17 June 8:00-9:30am, then after 12:30pm
* Thursday 18 June 7:30am-9:15am

If those times don't work for you, please suggest others for next week Tue,
Wed, or Thur.

Thanks!

Best,
~Shawn, as EOWG Co-chair

http://www.w3.org/WAI/Policy/> is very out of date.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.

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.
