The mission and purpose of the Braille Authority of North America 
are to
assure literacy for tactile readers through the standardization 
of
braille and/or tactile graphics.  BANA promotes and facilitates 
the use,
teaching, and production of braille.  It publishes rules, 
interprets, and
renders opinions pertaining to braille in all existing codes.  It 
deals
with codes now in existence or to be developed in the future, in
collaboration with other countries using English braille.  In 
exercising
its function and authority, BANA considers the effects of its 
decisions
on other existing braille codes and formats; the ease of 
production by
various methods; and acceptability to readers.
