Sec. 508 reworked


LSW

Recommended Posts

A committee was created in September 2006 to review needed changes in Sec. 508 of the ADA.

 

Not much info yet available other than some general meeting and membership info, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

 

I contacted the 508 web site http://www.section508.gov asking about references to changes considering 508 is 7 years old and with the "eventual" completion of WCAG 2 and any future support of WCAG Samurai or other versions of updating or replacing WCAG could leave 508 points hanging in midair with no WCAG basis anymore.

 

The reply was that yes indeed it is being looked at and sure enough they had neglected to link to it on the web site.

 

So for anyone interested: http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/update-index.htm

 

The membership is an interesting read, lot of European and other foreign agencies. Maybe aiming more for a DDA sort of thing?
