Andrew and I have created a draft of the new language for 1194.24 c,
d and e. I've pasted it below and have also put it on the wiki.
Please note the editorial comments in [square brackets]! We can
discuss it on the call today.

24(c) All training and informational productions containing video and/
or audio which support the agency's mission, regardless of format,
that contain speech or other audio information necessary for the
comprehension of the content, must comply with the following:
1) productions containing prerecorded audio and no additional time-
based content must provide either a transcript or synchronized captions.
2) productions containing prerecorded video with concurrent audio
must provide synchronized captions and may also offer a transcript.
3) productions containing real-time audio, with or without video,
must provide synchronized real-time captions. [we need to discuss the
feasibility of this]
24(d) All training and informational productions containing video and/
or audio which support the agency's mission, regardless of format,
that contain visual information necessary for the comprehension of
the content, must comply with the following:
1) productions containing prerecorded video and no audio or other
additional time-based content must provide either a separate text
description of the video or provide an additional audio track to
convey the informational content of the video.
2a) productions containing prerecorded video with concurrent audio
must provide synchronized audio descriptions to convey the
informational content of the video. [this one is in line with current
508]
2b) productions containing prerecorded video with concurrent audio
must provide either a separate text description of the video or
provide synchronized audio descriptions to convey the informational
content of the video. [this one is in line with WCAG 2 current draft]
3a) productions containing live video must provide synchronized audio
descriptions in real time to convey the informational content of the
video. [goes beyond WCAG 2 current draft, goes beyond current 508]
3b) [no audio descriptions for live video due to cost involved]
24(e) Audio descriptions and captions must be either (a) permanently
presented to all recipients ("open") or (b) capable of being turned
on and off by each individual recipient ("closed").
