Hello:
When I looked at this page I was not able to find the forms is it one of
the three documents at the bottom of the page that are all called the same
thing? Thanks Lucy

At the State of Minnesota, our accessibility standard, effective September
1, 2010, references both Section 508 and WCAG 2.0. Accordingly, we have
two VPAT documents that we require from vendors, the standard 508 VPAT and
a WCAG 2.0 VPAT that lists all the components of the guidelines. Our focus
is less on the specific conformance than on how well the vendor completes
the document. Is the respondent clearly aware of accessibility issues?
Does the document provide explanations for how the product does or does
not meet a criteria? (As noted earlier on this list - does the document
read like a bug list?)

You can find our VPAT forms at
http://mn.gov/oet/policies-and-standards/accessibility/ ("Standards" tab).
Soon we will be posting guidance for vendors and reviewers, among others,
regarding these VPATs.
