wai-policieslist's Issues

Level of information per country is inconsistent

The structure & level of information for each country is inconsistent. There are several unneeded and non-working references in the additional information.

[Policies] Input data form

Please comment on the proposed data input fields and approach to gather data on existing policies and updates. The Policy_update_form.docx proposal was sent to the EOWG list and is attached here.

Need method to mark new or updated information

Could be simply marking something "New" vs. "Updated" or giving a date per country or regulation when updates occur.

Content is outdated

Need to update the content per today's existing policies.

Back to top links per country

Since the country sections are long, a "back to top" link would be helpful. Alternatively, if collapsible sections are used, such a link may not be necessary.

Proposal is a departure from normal WAI website navigation, need link back to WAI

From Brent's comment Sept. 26:
I like the left navigation. It will make it much easier to get to the areas of the document that are important to the user.
How would this work within the current WAI site, which also has a left navigation? Are you thinking that this could replace that when you are on this page? And maybe there is a link at the top of the page that brings you back into the WAI site somehow?

Mark which policies are voluntary vs. carry a penalty.

Should content include whether or not this is voluntary or penalties involved (e.g. India govt. recommendation to use WCAG 2.0 that is not enforced vs. AODA with monetary penalties)?

What about in-progress regulations?

Should content include in-progress regulations? If so, should we also note the impact, how far they are in the process, how imminent the completion is?

Useful to have sorting capabilities for comparisons to be made

Users would like sorting capabilities to be able to compare countries. Some possibilities are:

1. Is it an accessibility policy, vs non-discrimination policy, vs procurement policy, etc.?
2. Does it apply to web only or is it broader?
3. Does it reference WCAG directly or through another mechanism (e.g. Copy &paste)?
4. Does it use WCAG as-is, or some derivative of WCAG? 1.0 vs 2.0? How to handle generic references to WCAG or WAI?

Notification e-mail list for updates

Separate list? Or part of new announcements list?

Other national policies?

Should we consider including local industry or other (web) accessibility policies too where applicable? Eg Australian Bankers Assoc

[Policies] Policies page update - approach and content

Please comment on the mockup sent to the EOWG list and attached to this email.

Policy_page_proposal_13_Jan_2016.docx

Consistent method of navigation needed

In the current page, the navigation has two methods, by 2 letter country code or by links in a nested list by country name. Both are contained in the body of the page which takes a lot of the top part of the page. Suggest a single country navigation method.

[Policies] Sortable table vs filters

Options under consideration are:

1. Sortable table
2. Filters
   Please discuss your preference and the reasons for them.
