What changes are expected to EPUB Accessibility specifications due to upcoming legislations

Dear all,

 

This email is in the context of the new charter for publishing standards.

 

We aligned EPUB Accessibility 1.1 to the eBooks requirements of European
Accessibility directive. Are there more changes required?

In United States, Title 2 of ADA regulations will be implemented soon. are
there any updates required in EPUB Accessibility specifications to support
it?

There may be more legislation related changes in other countries which would
affect our future plans for EPUB Accessibility. We would like to know about
them also.

 

I have opened issue #37
<https://github.com/w3c/publ-maintenance-wg-charter/issues/37>  for
collecting your valuable responses.

You can either respond to this issue, or you can open a new issue for your
response and place its reference in this issue.

Thank you
