>From the consumer perspective "official" is probably right, but there
are many many "work" items that are not official distributions that also
need to be accessible.

I think what we're trying to get at is anything that is considered an
"official electronic communication" of the agency that is distributed
through any means. Here's another alternative:
In complying with this subpart, each agency must ensure that any
official electronic communications from the agency, regardless of the
medium of transmission or distribution, complies with the applicable
provisions in the Section 508 standard, in particular the provisions in
subpart C, section 3. For example, agency websites, policies or
procedures for employees that are distributed via internal agency
e-mail, electronic newsletters, tutorials that are distributed on CDs,
etc.
I'm not sure "official electronic communication" is a great term but
maybe this will trigger something better from someone more creative than
me.
