This is the employment, transportation and information and communications standards smushed together into one big fat ol’ standard. Read it and comment by October 16.

Well looky here, if it isn’t our old buddy Donna Jodhan, only this time, she’s in the news! She’s suing the government because apparently, she couldn’t apply for a job online without sighted help.
