JIS X 8341-3 was developed paying full attention to WCAG 1.0 and 2.0 WD. Comparison between JIS and WCAG was presented at CSUN 2004: "JIS Web Content Accessibility Guideline"
INSTAC organized "Web Accessibility International Standards Research Working Group" (WG2) in 2004.
One objective of WG2 is international standard harmonization.
The WG2 submitted a review to WCAG WG in September 2004.
As a chair of WG2 and a member of WCAG WG, I want to facilitate communication between two working groups.
It might be good that ISO has a Web accessibility guideline under the framework of ISO/IEC Guide 71.
It also might be good that W3C, supported by Japan, submits WCAG 2.0 to ISO.
When ISO has a Web accessibility guideline under the framework of ISO/IEC Guide 71, it will be translated into Japanese and become a new version of JIS X 8341-3.
Thus, we must contribute to WCAG 2.0 Working Draft.
