Hi Ria, Yes, we have had Murtha Cullina look at our compliance under the ADA act, first when you passed along a similar threat about providing QST for blind hams, and at my request to look at our web site and other possible areas of problems. Their reading is that we are expected to provide as "reasonable accommodation" and we are doing that. If you think that this threat of legal action is real, or if you have specific information that I should pass to Murtha Cullina, call me in the office tomorrow. Otherwise I assume that we don't need to involve our lawyers or insurance broker at this time. 73, Howard On 7/31/2019 8:05 PM, rjairam@gmail.com wrote:
A ham who wishes to remain anonymous for now has alerted me to the possibility that we may not be in full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and that there has been even talk of legal action. I can't say if that is serious or not but you have to take every threat seriously.
Do we have any assessment of our current websites and other media with regard to accessibility?
Have we contacted counsel about the possibility that this may happen?
I would hope that we are on top of this.
