The U.S. Department of Justice has formally expressed its intent to
propose new federal regulations implementing the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) to address the access needs of people with
disabilities with respect to web sites, video description, and
equipment, including so-called electronic and information technology,
among other issues. The Justice Department continues to seek input from
the public about these matters, and extensive draft responsive comments
are being prepared and circulated both within and outside the vision
loss community. But the Justice Department needs to hear from you!

On Tuesday afternoon, January 18, beginning at 3:00 p.m., Eastern, you
are invited to participate in a teleseminar presentation and discussion
about the major issues in play, the pros and cons of various approaches
in response to the issues and questions raised by the Justice
Department’s actions, and how you can most effectively urge the
Department to move forward with proposed regulations that will have the
best possible odds of both becoming the law of the land and achieving
their desired effect.

To participate in this complimentary teleseminar, use the dial-in
information below to join the moderated discussion (including Q&A) a few
