Re: [libreoffice-accessibility] VPAT Inquiry

Thanks for the link.

I had also asked the same question in 2020 and can tell you that all 
levels of Canadian governments and school boards require ACR 
(Accessibility Conformance Report) using the VPAT template for software 
acquisition. I also checked on Mexican requirements, and, although not 
required, apparently more and more at different levels of government 
institutions some are requiring ACR.

I wonder if this could be part of a contracted job with the TDF? Just so 
that it is done right at the outset and maintained thereafter by volunteers.
