Folks:

On Friday the committee created a new, voluntary task force chartered to:

a) Propose a model to the TEITAC for sorting technical provisions that do
not apply to Section 255 or Section 508

b) Identify technical provisions that need to be modified strictly for
Section 255

By performing these two exercises we should be able to determine whether
TEITAC can create the "one document, two sections" deliverable proposed on
Friday. The first deliverable from this task force is due by 12:00 pm EST,
Dec. 3, 2007. The results will be considered by the whole committee during
our plenary conference call on Tuesday, Dec. 4.

Currently the following TEITAC members have volunteered to participate on
this task force:

Ellen Blackler
Judy Brewer
Jessica Brodey
Mary Brooner
Brad Hodges
Mary Beth Janes
Peter Korn
Jennifer Simpson
Karen Strauss
Gregg Vanderheiden

A listserv is being set up for the task force. Members will be appropriately
notified. Any other TEITAC member is welcome to join.

Jim Tobias, Tim Creagan, and I will monitor all communication and task force
activities.

Regards and thanks,

Jim Tobias, Co-Chair
Mike Paciello, Co-Chair
