Figures
 
The Access Board should develop new figures for use with the revised ADAAG. Existing figures should be reviewed, improved, and edited or deleted as appropriate. New figures should be developed where appropriate.
 
ADAAG Commentary (Appendix)
 
The Committee recommends that the Access Board develop a comprehensive new commentary for the revised ADAAG. The Committee did not attempt to fully review or study existing "Appendix" language, or to draft new commentary language related to all revised ADAAG sections. However, the work of the Committee has created several sources of information that the Access Board should utilize in the development of the commentary, as follows:
 
・Editorial Side-by Side. This document was prepared by the Editorial Subcommittee to clearly separate "scoping", "technical and mother" provisions in current ADAAG. The "other" text includes commentary language in numerous locations, including examples, recommendations, or explanations.
・Committee Report- The December 1995 Final subcommittee reports contain the most comprehensive accumulation of committee rationale for recommended revisions to current ADAAG. In addition, some committee actions included specific recommendations for commentary text.
・Current ADAAG Appendix. Portions of the current appendix will still likely be appropriate as commentary for the revised guidelines.
・Approved Committee Challenges. Approved committee challenges (from February 1996) include a rationale for the challenge, and some challenges included specific recommendations for commentary text.
・Harmonization and Editorial Meeting Results. In a few cases, the committee made specific commentary recommendations at the harmonization (July 1996) and Editorial (August 1996) meetings.
