Just starting to read a report of this week’s Access Board hearing on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Standards and Guidelines. Here is the beginning of that report:

On May 12 the Board held a public hearing on its refresh of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Standards and Guidelines. Through this event, which attracted a sizable audience, the Board sought feedback from the public on its draft update of standards for Federal technologies covered by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and guidelines for telecommunications products subject to Section 255 of the Telecommunications Act.

Read the complete report of the hearing here.

UPDATE: I attended the EASI webinar (5-24-10) on the 255/508 Refresh. TRACE Center has a new resource that may be “easier” to understand. Here is the TRACE Center resource.
