What we would require of products that include DRM is that when
assistive technology is used it can not be "locked" out by the DRM
scheme for any reason, especially based upon copyrights, as exclusion of
people with disabilities is not supported in copyrights law to my
knowledge.

Oops. I forgot these notes from the May plenary:
We were asked to specifically consider issues of closed by policy with
DRM as an example. Also to consider products with no OS.

I don't know of anything specific to require of DRM products that would
not be required of other products? Open to how we should incorporate
mention of these--requirements? In a note?
