Hi, all.

At a conference last year, I heard that the Access Board would be updating the Section 508 standards and that the new version as related to web accessibility would look quite a bit like WCAG 2.0 AA.

I am meeting with folks at my institution tomorrow and would like to recommend that we embrace WCAG 2.0 AA as our goal for all of our web sites. Do you have handy any resources that would help me make this case?
