[s.mcdaid at wrc-research.ie]

Hi all,

Just to clarify that WRC are not directly involved with this consultation, though the reference 
documentation includes the Measuring the Progress of eAccessibility in Europe report.

The einclusion at eu website 
(http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/einclusion/index_en.htm) 
provides more information, including that there is an invitation for position papers in addition 
to the questionnaire.

Regards,

Shari

Folks, 
just announced a new consultation on web accessibility is being carried out by the EU. Not 
sure if Shari and the Work Research Centre are involved in this? 

Announcement here: http://www.epractice.eu/document/4886 
Survey here: http://ec.europa.eu/yourvoice/ipm/forms/dispatch?form=accessibility&lang=en 

The survey is being carried to inform two main decisions: 
*   A common European approach for web accessibility (Section 1); 
*   Other aspects of e-accessibility and possible action at European level (Section 2). 
Regards, 
Dónal.
