I apologize for you not being able to participate in the teleconference via
RCC. I have attached a copy of the captioning transcript for your
information.

Hello,

This is Jim House from TDI. My usual method of participation - Remote
Conference Captioning was not available today - did not recognize the
meeting number - so I used video relay for the first time in this
setting. Also, I did not have the queing available either.

Regarding 24(e) - knowing that the audience is not expected to operate
the captions individually, they do so "collectively" through a
coordinator or moderator of the public event,

One other thing, do we have anything written down that ensure captions
(and descriptions) generated in live events will remain available for if
someone wants to playback at a later time?
