Jim, Robert,
As I recall only 3 people (Jim, Karen, me) were on the call when we
discussed this and we agreed that there were not enough participants to
conclude that analog should be included?
I might be wrong?
Does anyone else recall this discussion?
Thanks.

Robert,

Issue discussed yesterday's Audio/Video S/C. As noted during
discussion, Section 508 is not only a procurement but, also a
maintenance of purchased technologies requirement. Based on service
life for these technologies, it is quite possible Federal agencies
will continue to have analog technology in daily use far beyond the
implementation of the revised 508 Standards. There was consensus on
the call yesterday that not including any reference to analog may
imply or, could be read that Federal agencies cannot use that which
is not specified.

In light of our conversation, analog was included.

Best, Jim
