Re: [External] Re: [Protocols] Minutes for March 4th, 2022

Hey Jaunita,

Please also see this page (translate into English):
https://www.digitoegankelijk.nl/wetgeving/wat-verplicht

*Requirements*

*Nr1.* requirement: Make websites more accessible based on the requirements
of chapter 9 of the European standard EN 301 549. These requirements are
identical to accessibility standard WCAG 2.1, level A + AA.

*Nr2. *Publish an accessibility statement.

*Nr3.* Continuing to work on either staying or fully complying with the
accessibility statement.

So, if not 100% compliant yet (as probably 99% of all websites worldwide)
you MUST prove your path towards this goal.
It has already been proven for thousands of sites and apps that this
approach works better because there is a reward / grow factor build in
(indeed a "maturity / change your processes / apply and use protocol like
documentation)

Cheers!
