Digital Signatures
Is it time to learn more about digital signatures? At the 2008 Convention and Exposition, the NCRA Technology Evaluation Committee sponsored a two-part seminar on digital signatures on transcripts. A panel of industry experts, including Patricia Hahn, Alex Kasperavivius, Michael Miller and Leigh Ann Orozco, discussed transcripts in digital format followed by a hands-on seminar. We were able to get permission to reproduce several of the hand-outs below. This topic is changing rapidly, so we will continue to update the how-tos as needed and add material as it comes in.

NCRA Involved in Introduction of Internet Captioning Bill
On June 26, Rep. Edward Markey (D-MA) introduced H.R. 3101, the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2009. NCRA, through its involvement in the Coalition of Organizations for Accessible Technology (COAT), has worked to get this bill re-introduced in the 111th Congress. This is the second year in a row that the coalition has successfully seen the legislation introduced.
