___ I can accept this definition.
_X_ I can accept this definition with changes. I'm recommending that the group consider the following changes:
Fundamental Alteration: A change in the basic purpose, critical function, or characteristics of a product or service governmental activity or function.
I would prefer this language because it is more consistent with how fundamental alteration is used and interpreted in the rest of the ADA and the Rehab Act. This is meant to be a very narrow exception and related to the functioning of the government activity, not a particular pieces of technology.
