[Nfbwv-talk] Volunteers Needed

Thu Aug 3 15:47:25 UTC 2017

I don't know.  I will find out more this evening during the phone conference.  I don't think you specifically have to begin on the start date.  They just want things completed by a certain time.

If anyone else would like to volunteer, please let me know.

I would absolutely love to do this but I don't know if I'll be up to it with surgery being on the 22nd.  Wonder if there's an exception to the start date??

The ATM testing will be very different from NFB's current rideshare testing program, in that here we're looking for a small pool of pre-determined testers to evaluate specific, assigned ATMs. Each NFB affiliate president is asked to identify testers for his or her state, district, or territory; an affiliate may choose to have only one tester or up to eleven different testers who each evaluate one ATM. Fortunately, Cardtronics ATMs are plentiful, and we should be able to identify ATMs within testers' preferred zip codes, to make testing as convenient as possible.

Specifically, testers will need to note any ATM errors or error messages, describe any ATM malfunctions, and confirm that:

> This testing to ensure that blind individuals have full and equal access to Cardtronics ATM services is an important project for the NFB. It will require testers to give serious time and attention in a formal way to the testing processes and to document the results of their tests in a specific manner. The NFB intends to provide instructions and support to testers. The NFB will also provide grants to affiliates whose testing efforts are successful.
> Timeframe: Testing will commence on September 1, and we ask that testing be completed by October 15, 2017. This will allow NFB a two-week window with which to resolve any issues before the settlement agreement's mandated testing completion date of October 31, 2017. It is possible that affiliates will be offered additional testing opportunities during this two-week window in late October.
