Re: EvalTF telco

I have a little more information on the 508 refresh. The next draft is
anticipated to be released for public review in the April/May 2014
timeframe.  We expect it to be harmonized with the M376 standard that
passed the country vote yesterday. We will have to wait to see the 508
draft to ensure harmonization was realized, but I don't expect any major
surprises.  Enforcement won't occur until sometime in 2015 (probably the
2nd half of the year).

Hello,

Not yet. The latest published draft (ANPRM - december 2011) incorporates
WCAG 2.0 for web (and non-web documents and software), but the refresh
process is still ongoing work.
