I don't think that Katie is being protective of the access board so much as indicating that the _current_ source of the delay is OMB. I agree that the Access Board has not moved as quickly as possible (the TEITAC committee started its work in 2006) and certainly agree that when there is a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that people should feel free to comment on it.

If you're interested in getting the new 508 moving I suspect that it wouldn't hurt to have your legislators inquire with the OMB.

Next update comes at the next board meeting: http://www.access-board.gov/board-meetings/eventdetail/26/-/board-meeting
