Shawn, the German accessibility initiative 'Einfach für Alle' has some additional info on the legislation in this country, both on the national and on the state level: In addition to the PDF-Version you list at http://www.w3.org/WAI/Policy/#DE we have a (slightly more accessible :-) version of the federal BITV regulation at: http://www.einfach-fuer-alle.de/artikel/bitv/ (the regulation itself) http://www.einfachfueralle.de/artikel/bitv/bitv_anlage.html (appendix 1, list of checkpoints, grouped into 2 priorities derived from WCAG1) http://www.einfachfueralle.de/artikel/bitv/bitv_glossar.html (appendix 2, glossary) http://www.einfachfueralle.de/artikel/bitv/landesgleichstellungsgesetze.html (overview of the current legislation process in the individual states - only 6 out of 16 states have a discrimination law.) Btw, the sponsoring departments for this law and regulation were the German Department of the Interior (Bundesministerium des Innern) and the Labour Department (Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Sozialordnung). I talked to Wendy and Gregg at theVenice f2f about providing an english translation of the federal regulation to W3C. I had a conversation today with a contact at the labour department and they promised to do one sometime next week, so I'll send it as soon as I have it.
