Free Webinar: Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Section 508
2 hours: Monday, May 24 combining 90-minutes of panel and 30-minutes of Q & A
Pacific time: 11-1
Mountain time: 12-2
Central time: 1-3
Eastern time: 2-4


Presenters: Susan Mazrui, Larry Goldberg, Jim Tobias and Gregg Vanderheiden
The Webinar will be captioned thanks to the kindness of AT&T


Sections 255 and 508 are the federal regulations that require accessible
information and communication technologies (ICT). They are currently being
revised, and the time is ripe for public comment before they are finalized.
This webinar will go over the current environment, changes to the technical
provisions, and how we all can participate in the process to make sure that
the final regulations will provide the access needed by users to both
current and emerging ICT.


Besides outlining the proposed rules, the panel will explore ideas to make
the government and others adopt a new commitment to following these rules.


This is a timely topic, and you should register in advance to reserve a
spot in the online Webinar room. Late registrations may not receive login
instructions in time to join the Webinar.

receive info on joining the live Webinar 2 days in advance.

In Boston, this conflicts with EventApart. Is there anyway to see
transcripts after the event?

Usually a link to an archive is sent to registered attendees after the
event has taken place. It might be a good idea to check with EASI to
verify this.

I don't know as I received this on another list and am not familiar with the
set up. I did register though and I can let you know how they handle it.

If you register and cannot attend, they usually send you a link to the
recording. If not, you can request it.
