<p>Good morning, I'm responding to the person who expressed concerns
about whether Zoom communications has native captioning. They do
but it's not what we would consider captioning. It's more a
transcript instead of human provided captioning if this makes
sense. I've read what serves as captioning directly because it
comes out in a transcript that the meeting provider chooses this
unfortunately you hardly get a real sense of what went on in the
meeting. So this I have significant problems with the default
captioning the way the company believes it should be done.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Your comments of course about asking us on the board to take this
up certainly have been I hope read by him my colleagues on the
board I know I have read them and I know we have discussed it in
the past. I'm going to leave it to this list administrator first
VP to chime in where she thinks it is appropriate. As far as cost
go, I think she once told us in a recent meeting, that I thought
she said roughly hundred dollars. But I do not know what time
frame she was discussing or at least I can't remember what it was
exactly. It was a discussion we had leading up to the 2020 virtual
national convention. Like I mentioned earlier a lot of us on the
board who read this list and we do tend to take trends to heart
when we have board only discussions. Please be assured that we
don't overlook anything.</p>

<p>As I suggested yesterday that may help you if you sit down with
your state president and or members of your state board and
discuss this issue within your state affiliate. Because I think
that's the best way to handle this. Yes we can help, but I think a
lot of this must start at the state level. I hope this explanation
of things helps and I hope your Sunday is going along smoothly. Be
well everyone and stay safe.<br>
