Katie thanks for your comments and suggestions. The suggested
operating protocols will be posted soon for review and comment (as soon
as I can figure out how to add new pages to the Subpart A area they will
be posted- your comments on dealing with new different or technology
certainly resonates with me right now). I will try to capture your
additional suggestions below and add them to the guidelines.



I would also request that in the future if people are talking
too fast and the quality of the captioning, or the proceedings of the
call in general are being compromised, that any member of the
subcommittee should feel comfortable to interrupt in some manner and
remind people to slow down. Laura and I will certainly try to be
cognizant of this as well, but it's always helpful to have immediate
feedback so that we can get on the right track. We appreciate you
raising these concerns and suggestions- thanks.

Deborah,



Thank you for considering those suggestions. I look forward to seeing
those operating protocols. And thanks to everyone for their comments. I
would like to add that for those of us that do not dial into the
conference call and rely on the captioner to speak for us, it is hard to
let someone know immediately that they are speaking too fast, because
the captioner will not speak until there's a 'break' in the
conversation. In those cases, perhaps, per Terry Weaver's suggestion,
sending an e-mail to either you or Laura (or the person speaking) would
work better?



Also, just to clarify, will we be utilizing the hand raising technology
for all future calls?



Thanks,



Katie

[Deborah Buck]

Katie- Having to wait for a break in conversation could be challenging.
I like the idea of sending an email to one of the co-chairs and think
that would definitely work. Ongoing uses of the hand raising tool is
up to the subcommittee to decide. The draft general operating
procedures for the subcommittee to examine, discuss and adopt as
appropriate will be posted soon. I'm including them as well in this
email as follows.


General Procedures/Policies (apply to everything)


1. All communications are accessible and use accessible tools

2. All participants agree to communications, postings etc that are
courteous and constructive.

o Comments restricted to topics, ideas or other opinions

o Do not make comments about other people or organizations.




Conference Call Procedings


1. If new tools are being used as part of conference calls, ensure
that

o Subcommittee members are made aware of and how to access the
the tool prior to the conference call

o Subcommittee members are given access to information to
understand how to utilize or operate the tool

2. For the purpose of closed captioning

o Please identify yourself prior to starting your comments or
questions.

o Please do not talk over someone.

o Please remember to speak slower so that comments can be
accurately captured by the captioners.

o If you are using Acronyms please spell them out

3. Utilize the Hand Raising Utility.


Use of the mail list


1. Everyone is encouraged to use the list for discussion. This
include working group members and anyone else who signs up for the list.


2. Those who advertise on the list will be warned once then removed
if action is repeated

o Obvious spammers will be removed immediately

3. Avoid "me too" postings that don't contribute additional content


o Exception would be when we are voting - but we hope to have
another way to do this if we get into doing much 'voting'.
