Aside from the EU, what jurisdictions are now holding themselves responsible for achieving WCAG 2.1 AA? There is Alameda County, California thanks to #StructuredNegotiation & @LFLegal but there must be others. I couldn't find an up-to-date list with the @w3c_wai #WCAG

My idea of fun would be: help the Education & Outreach Working Group make their big update of the @w3c_wai Laws & Policies page. Meanwhile I'm gathering my own list of #accessibility standards by region. What's missing here? docs.google.com/spreadsheets…

I did try to update the polcies w3.org/WAI/policies/ via #Github for #Canada's #AccessibileCanadaAct github.com/w3c/wai-policies-… I think that the W3C needs more funding to put resources into this.

[Canada] Including the ACA by mgifford · Pull Request #388 · w3c/wai-policies-prototype

Bringing over issues from #384 & extending them a bit. The Accessible Canada Act wasn't listed.

Thank you for your updates. Unfortunately we are still short of resources to process updates right now. I am optimistic that we will get to it in early 2021. Sadly, I'm not sure that we will before then. :-( ~Shawn

Thanks for the update. I wonder if it makes sense to have some stuff just done on #WikiPedia where it is easier & faster to make the changes. Then the more structured information can flow from that into the work of the WAI? Just trying to find a way to make it more maintainable

hummm. We could do it in a W3C wiki page (which requires only W3C login to edit). I see some pros and cons to that approach, from W3C perspective. I'll consider more and have an answer next week. Thanks much for continuing to help with ideas.
