>Re: Petition for Membership to the Telecommunications Access 
>Advisory Committee by Microsoft Corporation.
>
>Dear Dennis,
>
>After attending last months meeting of the TAAC, it was 
>clear to me that Microsoft could make a significant 
>contribution to the TAAC's efforts. Microsoft could provide 
>insights in the area of software technology and development 
>processes. More importantly, I believe Microsoft could 
>provide a wide breadth of expertise where needed on 
>subcommittees.
>
>If this is acceptable to the TAAC and the Chair of the 
>Access Board, I would be the primary representative for 
>Microsoft. I am an accessibility program manager with 
>expertise in User Interface Architecture (e.g., one of my 
>main projects is designing Closed Captioning support). It is 
>also my responsibility to address the technical aspects of 
>regulatory issues as they apply to accessibility. Gary 
>Moulton would be my alternate. He is the accessibility 
>product manager that addresses marketing, education, and 
>implementation issues.
>
>Sincerely,
>
>David Bolnick.
