In case you missed the announcement last week, we will be meeting today at
the usual place:

1-877-220-5439 (US)
1-800-64-219 (Australia)
44-20-8608-1105 (London)

Meeting id#: 107147


Taking up "controls" discussion where last we left off:

Andi Snow-Weaver's suggested new language:

> In products that receive or display analog or digital television, access
> to controls to enable or disable accessibility features must be
> comparable in prominence in at least one location to the controls needed
> to control the volume or control program selection, if those controls
> are provided.

Followed by the inquiry by Gregg V:

Why not require all players of material that may contain captions to have a
captions on/off switch near the volume control. It would be easy, small and
could be ubiquitous as well as very handy for all users.

- Larry
