Hi Mary Jo, Your timing is perfect. EOWG is just getting re-started updating that page. Can we have a brief phone call to update you on the work? Sharron Rush (who is EOWG co-chair with me) and I are available: * Wednesday 17 June 8:00-9:30am, then after 12:30pm * Thursday 18 June 7:30am-9:15am If those times don't work for you, please suggest others for next week Tue, Wed, or Thur. Thanks! Best, ~Shawn, as EOWG Co-chair <http://www.w3.org/People/Shawn/> On 6/15/2015 4:35 PM, Mary Jo Mueller wrote: > Hi, > > It seems the_ Policies Relating to Web Accessibility page_ <http://www.w3.org/WAI/Policy/> is very out of date. Is anyone tasked with maintaining the information? I can help with some of the countries that I follow, but I know there are new regulations in the works for several countries, as well as the update of standards used in many countries to use WCAG 2.0 that I don't have all of the information for. Perhaps there could be a newsletter call for help from participants in other countries to gather the info to update that page. > > In addition, I think there should be a section describing the UNCRPD as a prime mover for countries to adopt standards and policies regarding the promotion of developing accessibility standards worldwide - including in the web space.
