Reminder of U.S. Access Board meeting in Dallas September 12, 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear Colleague: As you know, on September 12th the U.S. Access Board will be
\nholding an all-day event in Dallas, Texas. The purpose of this email is to
\nremind you of what\u2019s taking place that day and to encourage your
\nparticipation!<\/p>\n

First, the Access Board will conduct a public hearing on the Notice of
\nProposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on guidelines for public rights-of-way which were
\npublished on July 26, 2011. These guidelines address access to sidewalks,
\nstreet crossings, and other components of pedestrian networks for people
\nwith disabilities. Members of the public who are interested in providing
\ntestimony at this hearing are strongly encouraged to contact me at:
\nJohnson@access-board.gov so that I can put your name on the witness list.<\/p>\n

During the afternoon there will be two panels of experts. The first panel
\nwill discuss the State certified code implementation process. Presenters
\nwill include: Jonathan Hahm, with the U.S. Department of Justice; George
\nFerrie, with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation; Rick Lee, AIA
\nwith HKS, Inc.; and Phillip Pearce, Registered Accessibility Specialist and
\nformer Access Board member. The second panel will feature Bill
\nCurtis-Davidson from IBM\u2019s Human Ability & Accessibility Center who will
\ndiscuss issues surrounding making self-service transaction machines
\naccessible to persons with disabilities and will demonstrate IBM\u2019s
\naccessible self-service travel kiosk.<\/p>\n

After both of the panels have made their presentations, we will have an
\n\u201copen microphone session\u201d where we will invite the audience to make comments
\nand ask any questions they may have. The Access Board values these
\nout-of-town meetings because it affords our members the opportunity to
\nopenly discuss issues and interact with citizens who are interested in the
\nBoard\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

This meeting will take place on September 12, 2011 at the Sheraton Dallas on
\n400 North Olive Street in Dallas. All events are open to the public.
\nRegistration is not required. The Board requests that all participants
\nrefrain from wearing perfume, cologne and other fragrances, and use
\nunscented personal care products in order to promote a fragrance-free
\nenvironment. I\u2019m also attaching a flyer that you may want to share with your
\ncolleagues.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll look forward to seeing you there!!<\/p>\n

Best regards,<\/p>\n
