Just passing along to anyone interested in     January 14, 2011

For all members following is information on webinar for access issues with 
technology devices and communications
issues for deaf or blind.

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 they need to hear from all of 
us.

All comments must be received before midnight Eastern on Monday, January 24, 
2011. Comments can be submitted online and uploaded as
an attachment. To offer comment on each area of proposed Justice Department 
action, follow these instructions--
