DECEMBER 6 TASK FORCE MEETING RECAP



We had our first call with good attendance. Some members noted that they
were in listening mode and not able to speak on behalf of their
organizations at the first task force teleconference. We discussed the
basic analytical framework that had been circulated on the list
beforehand. We discussed what is covered under 255 today and have since
circulated a list to task force members of covered entities, products
and functionalities with references to the rules to aid the groups
thinking. The analytical framework being used by the group identifies
the areas of the standards that would have applicability to 255 (for
example, standards regarding web content would be relevant for on-line
documentation and on-line user interfaces for covered services).



We also asked members to identify provisions that would not have any
applicability to 255 or need modification. Specifically, we discussed
some of the "agency provisions" that may not be relevant to 255 as they
are focused on agency use of procured products. We also identified the
authoring tools provisions as not being directly relevant to 255.



We also began to discuss some specific examples of where a particular
requirement would have relevance to a covered product or functionality,
aided by a matrix Greg V. circulated. We also noted that it is not
clear that we need to specify the extent to which or circumstances under
which a given product is covered. It may be enough to identify as
examples a few circumstances or product types covered by 255 where the
standard in question would be relevant.



We also noted the need to review some of the language previously
submitted by Karen Peltz Strauss.



The chairs are developing some proposed approaches to circulate to the
group based on that discussion, previous discussions and proposals made
during the teitac.



Thanks and we will see you tomorrow.
