It does make it easier to book the government rate if you reserve a block of
rooms at the government rate for the TEITAC.

Hi Tim



Can you book a block of rooms for this meeting? You can always release
them a week or so before the meeting so you aren't held responsible. But
otherwise we are scattered and the costs are so high some of us aren't
allowed to stay in any nearby hotel.



Thanks


Gregg

Subject: Post TEITAC, Meeting #1



Hello Committee members!



Thank you all for coming last week, and thank you for the work that you have
done and are continuing to do for the TEITAC Committee!



Some very brief updates:



1. A new story about the TEITAC, (with one of our group pictures) See:
http://www.access-board.gov/news/508committee-meeting.htm



2. Updates to the "508 Update" page:
http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/update-index.htm



3. NOTE: You will see at the link "Documents and Presentations"
http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/refresh/teitac1st/ that there are links
to Power Point shows and remarks by various speakers. To those of you who
spoke, and did not give me any electronic copies of your remarks, you can
still do so!



I am thinking in particular of the members of the first panel on Thursday
Sept. 27, 2006:

What's Working, What's Not Working, What's New? (Panel Discussions)

* Government
* Consumer
* Industry

IF any of the Government, Consumer or Industry speakers wish to have their
remarks posted, please send them to me in electronic format ASAP. Thank
you~!





4. I have attached the most recent roster. NOTE: I included two (2) extra
names of persons identified to me by the organization as being the contact
person to send information to the organization, apart from the Committee
reps. If anyone has any edits, please send them to me and to Rose Marie
Bunales.



5. We now have a TEITAC workspace, http://TEITAC.org
<http://teitac.org/> , generously hosted as a service for the Access Board
and TEITAC by the National Center on Disability and Access to Education.



It provides a central location for announcements, communication,
collaboration, and tools.



The site also currently provides a working space for all sub-committees and
provides access to mailing lists for each sub-committee.



The site uses wiki software.

Wiki software allows anyone to add to or modify the site. Feel free to
contribute or change as you feel necessary.



Training for the site:

An overview tutorial of using the wiki has been set up at
http://teitac.org/wiki/TEITAC_wiki and details on this mailing list and each
sub-committee mailing list is available at
http://teitac.org/wiki/Email_lists

* For any questions, contact Bruce Bailey [ = EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED = ]
Jared Smith [ = EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED = ] or any member of the Communications
Taskforce http://teitac.org/wiki/Communications_Task_Force
* Jessica Brodey
* Debbie Cook
* Mike Paciello
* Jared Smith
* Jim Tobias
* Gregg Vanderheiden



Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions, updates, input.



Have a good weekend!



Sincerely,



Tim Creagan
