MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: The Council will receive agency updates on
policy projects, finance, governance, and other business. The Council
will receive an update on the work done to date for its 2018 Progress
Report to Congress and the President, which this year will focus on
monitoring and enforcement efforts at the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission, the U.S. Access Board, and the U.S. Department of Labor.
The Council will next release its latest report titled, ``U.S. Foreign
Policy and Disability 2017: Progress and Promise'' with a summary of
the report followed by a respondent panel. The Council will then
revisit its policy project proposals from October 2017 in summaries of
each proposal. Following this recap, the Council will hear from
representatives from the U.S. Department of Justice Disability Rights
Division, who have been asked to speak about recent ADA regulation
rescissions as well as their work in the area of service animals.
Following that presentation, the Council will receive public comments
on which of the Council's proposed policy projects are of greatest
priority to the disability community (including immigration;
institutionalization following natural disasters; organ donation
policies; a technology bill of rights; autonomous vehicle technology;
guardianship due process concerns; and any others that may be raised
during the course of the earlier summary of proposals).
Following the public comment, the Council will discuss and vote on
the slate of projects it will move forward for external funding
opportunities and internal work of staff.
