Changes to definition of closed product

New title and definition -   

"Closed Product Functionality"

"Functionality of a product where assistive technology can not be used to achieve some or all of the functionality of the electronic user interface components for any reason including hardware, software, platform, license, or policy limitation.

NOTES:

• Products can be closed for one type of disability but not closed for another.
• Functionality is limited to "electronic UI components" because products are not considered ‘closed’ if mechanical devices like latches or lids cannot be operated by assistive technologies like screen readers. Mechanical devices such as keys that cause electronic input would however trigger “closed” designation if assistive technologies could not achieve the same functionality.
• A ‘product’ can consist of multiple devices some of which may be AT if the devices are all sold and kept together as a unit.
• Policy includes manufacturer, or vendor policies,etc. Agencies are responsibility for agency policies. If important to procurement agencies should reflect requirement as specifications in the RFP. (e.g. "Connection of user devices will not be allowed." or "All peripheral ports must be sealable.")

TWO NEW DEFINTIONS

We have two other terms that we need placeholders in the Definition list.  
We don't feel confident in definitions language yet but they are needed 
to keep necessary provisions from being applied where not needed. 

1. Personal-private
2. Shared-Public

.

1.2 A Closed Products and Functions

remove "comparable"  and change SHORT NAME to match provision

1.2-A - Closed Product Functions

If any product functionality is closed, then individuals with disabilities must have comparable access to that functionality without the use of any assistive technologies that must be attached or installed. A personal assistive listening device that connects to the standard audio connection required in provision AUDIO CONNECTION is not considered assistive technology.

1.2-E - Audio information

 Provision edited -  limited this to information for use   and   allowed  directly or via AT.  
                     This addresses the "closed product functionality problem without triggering 
                     a requirement for all built in access for all products. 

1.2-E - Audio information

All information that is needed for operation and use that is provided in audio form must also be available in visual form, either directly or via assistive technology.

1.2-F - Visual Information

All information that is needed for operation and use that provided in visual form must also be available in audio form and, where appropriate, in tactile form, either directly or via assistive technology.
