Hello All, 1. Business case: I think the words "business case" must not be there in the document title. This phrase appears to have been used with a very broad meaning to mean "justification" or " making a case". "Making a case for Web accessibility" or " Justifying An Enterprise's Web Access Initiative" may be more appropriate. 2. The document at http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/bcase/pol.html needs a pointer to edu institutions that have Web access policy. Sample of edu sites with Web access policy: Oregon State University Web Accessibility Guidelines. Available at: http://tap.orst.edu/Policy/web.html Draft of Regis University's Web Accessibility Policy http://www.regis.edu/regis.asp?sctn=ars&p1=dis&p2=webaccessibility MIT's Web Accessibility Policy Was available at: http://web.mit.edu/ada/waccess.html#policy Looks like it has moved... I cannot find it. 3. On social factors page http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/bcase/soc.html It is important to elaborate "using Web is empowering and convenient" by adding "offers privacy and independence to perform tasks that most take for granted"or say that it allows PWD to perform tasks for which they needed assistance. Illustrate it with : - Review items, descriptions and prices in a store without physically visiting the store - Complete and submit forms online without moving out of their home/ work place, etc Helps them to avoid /reduce travel and hustle-bustle of commuting etc. This is important as some of those unfamiliar with the world of PWD may not be able to imagine these.
