This email discussion list for Federal employees developing overall policy and procedures for Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. This list is intended to help us coordinate our efforts and discuss opportunities for improving our online service to employees with disabilities. It is a forum for sharing information and asking for help. Participation in this list is limited to Federal employees and contractors, as predecisional policy and planning issues might be discussed. This list covers all aspects of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.

One must have and use an email address in the .GOV or .MIL domain to participate.

  How do I join or re-subscribe to the list?
