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
