Functional Performance Criteria

Review FPC status

RESOLUTIONS

• {all resolutions are by unanimous consent at meeting}
• {resolutions are (only) recommendations from working group to the full committee}

1) WHEN ARE THE FPC TO BE APPLIED - WHAT IS THEIR ROLE

RESOLVED: (2 resolutions)

1. That we can not move FPC up to aspirational comment in introduction because the 508 law specifically requires Access Board to provide Functional and technical guidelines
2. the two roles for the FPC are:
   1. If any of the technical provisions are not met, the FPC can be used to see if access is provided in another way (i.e. through equivalent facilitation).
   2. To see if the technical provisions cover all aspects needed to provide access to the product. (i.e overall evaluation)
   3. To help identify and report functions (of a partially conforming product) that would not meet the FPC (and would therefore not work with employees and/or public users with disabilities) so that agency can evaluate the importance of lack of access to those functions to the intended use of the product. {Resolved to add at 10-1-07 meeting}

2) WHICH TERM TO USE - AND ITS MEANING (FULL ACCESS COMPARABLE ACCESS ETC)

• to use "access to all functionality of the product" {Resolved 10-1-07 meeting}

3) IS AT REQUIRED? WHAT IF AT DOESN'T WORK WITH IT? HOW TO DEAL WITH TESTABILITY IF AT IS INVOLVED ?

RESOLVED AT 10-15-07 MEETING
