To members of the blind community interested in web 
accessibility:


We are writing about the Structured Negotiations settlement 
reached between
CVS and the American Council of the Blind, the American 
Foundation for the
Blind, and the California Council of the Blind.  Under the 
agreement,
cvs.com should now meet the standards of the Web Content 
Accessibility
Guidelines, Level AA.  Because of the timing of the CVS 
settlement, CVS has
the choice to comply with either WCAG 1.0 or WCAG 2.0

We need feedback from the community to help us make sure the 
agreement is
being well implemented.  (Email and phone to send feedback at the 
end of this
email.)  Here's how you can help:

(1) Spend some time on www.cvs.com and let us know what you 
think.  We are
interested in both positive feedback and areas where you think 
CVS could
make the site more accessible.

(2) If you have a CVS prescription, try using the on-line tools 
for ordering
and refilling prescriptions and let us know what you think.

(3) Register with the site.

(4) Try buying something on www.CVS.com

(5) Let us know what you think about other sites owned by CVS.  
CVS has
agreed to meet with us about the accessibility of these sites, 
and we need
your feedback for that meeting.  The other sites are:  
www.caremark.com and
www.cvscaremark.com

Finally, because of the strong relationship with CVS that has 
been developed
as a result of the Structured Negotiations process, we are able 
to talk with
the company about other issues in CVS stores affecting the blind 
and
visually impaired community.  (The agreement with them, for 
example, also
covers tactile point of sale devices in CVS stores across the 
country.)  If
you have experienced any issues at CVS that you would like to 
bring to our
attention, please don't hesitate to contact us as follows:

By email at LF at LFLegal.com
toll-free to Linda's office at 1-800-822-5000

Thanks for helping us monitor and enforce ACB, AFB and CCB's 
settlement
agreement with CVS.  You can read the full agreement at:

press release
about the settlement at:  http://lflegal.com/2009/07/cvs-press/
