RID Straw Vote of the Conference Motions...
A Message from Angela Jones, RID President:
Straw Vote of the Conference Motions...Voting members participate today!
This survey is a straw vote of the entire voting membership of the
2007 RID National Conference Motions, which will be officially voted
on at conference on August 6th. Since only about 2,000 of our almost
13,000 members attend the conference, we want to get a better sense of
the full membership's opinion regarding these motions. This straw vote
will provide the RID leadership with an overall opinion of the
membership, thus, it is imperative that you participate.
To fully participate in the survey, you should FIRST read the
conference motions located on the RID Web site before accessing the
survey.
PLEASE NOTE: once you access the survey, you must cast your vote. If
you close out of the survey before completing it, you will NOT be able
to get back into the survey.
To vote, log into your member profile. If you have not yet logged in,
your username is your member number, and your password is the first
four letters of your last name and the last four digits of your member
number. For example, Joe Smith, member # 10101, would have a
password
of Smit0101. Once you log in, you can change your password to
something more familiar.
Thank you, in advance, for your participation!

A Message from RID President, Angela Jones:
Attention Interpreters Working in Video Relay Service (VRS)
Never before, in the history of the interpreting profession, have
interpreters worked in
settings where the federal government and large corporations
have played such an
important role in the provision of interpreting services. The
FCC has defined VRS
interpreters as ' communication assistants' (CA), using
language from TRS regulations. In
accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and
later FCC regulations,
interpreters working in the VRS setting must be " qualified." At
this time, there are issues
before the FCC that affect the provision of video relay services
and the professionals who
work in the field. It is crucial for interpreters working in this
setting to stay current with
the issues facing video interpreters working for VRS.
The TRS (VRS) Issues link can be found on the FCC Disability
Rights Office web page:

TRS (VRS) issues.
