There will be another teleconference of the Illinois Information Technology Accessibility Act (IITAA) Standards Update Workgroup Thursday, June 1 at 9:00 AM. If you are interested in participating, please sign up using the "IITAA Standards Update Workgroup Signup" at https://www.dhs.state.il.us/iitaa

Also, please submit your comments, thoughts, or questions on the "IITAA Standards Update Comments Board" at https://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=95465 (or go the main IITAA page at dhs.illinois.gov/iitaa and click the link to the IITAA Standards Update Comments Board).

We're especially interested to hear your thoughts about any or all of the following questions:

  1. Should we harmonize IITAA standards with the new Section 508 standards, WCAG 2.0, WCAG 2.1, something else?
  2. How would you envision harmonized standards being written? Simply refer to Section 508, copy the language of 508, another way?
  3. Do we need techniques or something similar that explain how to implement the standards in a more understandable way?
  4. Do you have ideas on what techniques should look like? IITAA Implementation Guidelines, WCAG 2.0 Techniques, code examples, etc.?
  5. What are your thoughts how we can improve compliance through outreach, education, monitoring and/or enforcement?

Thanks!
