[NFB-Idaho] FW: Redbox Kiosk Testing Program

Tue Jan 21 12:33:13 UTC 2020

I hadn’t seen this so am passing this along. If you want to do the testing for red box, please let me know. Let me know if you will be testing 3 sites. If not, we will need another tester. Sorry this message escaped me, but I don’t think it’s too late to act.

Dear Colleagues:

As a part of the NFB-Redbox settlement agreement implementation, your affiliate is invited to participate in NFB’s Redbox Kiosk Testing Program during period two of the program (February 1 through April 30, 2020). If you are interested in having your affiliate participate, I ask that by January 17 you send to Valerie Yingling at vyingling at nfb.org the name and contact information for one member who will serve as your affiliate’s tester. This tester will be expected to conduct the following tasks within a sixty-day window: 

*	Assess three remediated Redbox kiosks for accessibility, including the ability to nonvisually browse, rent, pay for, retrieve, and return media. (Testers will need to bring with them a set of headphones and a credit or debit card to use for each rental and will incur a charge of $1.75 to $3.00 per rental.) 
*	Complete an online report following each kiosk test. A copy of this report is attached for the purpose of identifying someone who can successfully perform the tests. 

Soon, Valerie will forward to each of you a list of the currently remediated Redbox kiosks in your state so that you can select a tester who lives or works near the kiosks. Please note that Valerie will coordinate a training for the identified kiosk testers prior to February 1.

Affiliates that choose to participate in the Redbox Kiosk Testing Program and successfully complete their assigned kiosk tests and reports will receive a financial grant of $100 per kiosk at the conclusion of the testing period. 

Please let Valerie Yingling know if you have questions about the Redbox Kiosk Testing Program. And as a reminder, please send to Valerie (vyingling at nfb.org) the name and contact information of the affiliate member you assign to be the tester. If we do not hear from you by January 17, we will assume that you do not wish to have your affiliate participate in the kiosk testing program.

Regards, 

Mark
