PLACE: U.S. Access Board, 1331 F Street, NW., Suite 1000, Washington, 
DC 20004, (202) 272-0080 (Metro Stop: Metro Center).

AGENDA: The Commission will host a roundtable discussion regarding the 
various accessibility issues the EAC is exploring with its work with 
the revision to the 2005 Voluntary Voting System Guidelines (VVSG). The 
goal of the roundtable is to provide the EAC with relevant information 
and implementable suggestions that the Commission can use as it 
attempts to make these policy decisions.
    The discussion will be focused upon the following topics: (1) New 
issues that were not addressed or anticipated by the 2005 VVSG; (2) Use 
of transferrable technologies and use of adaptive devices; (3) Issues 
with verification of vote and/or paper ballot by disabled voters; (4) 
Improvements to conformance and summative testing to accessible 
requirements by the EAC and manufacturer(s); (5) The possible benefits 
and drawbacks of component testing and certification; (6) Telephone 
voting systems and accessibility requirements; (7) The strengths and 
weaknesses of allowing submission for certification of systems in two 
categories, systems without accessibility components and accessible 
voting systems.

meetings unless this notice provides otherwise. Members of the public 
may use small electronic audio recording devices to record the 
proceedings. The use of other recording equipment and cameras requires
