Yes, this is just one more step along a very long process that began in 2006 when the Access Board created the Telecommunications and Electronic and Information Technology Advisory Committee and gave them the unenviable task of coming up with a new set of standards that everyone could agree upon. It took two years for the Advisory Committee to issue a report and another two years before the first draft of the "refresh" were published.

But unlike many regulation revision activities in the federal government, this one is actually moving, albeit slowly.
