BANA promotes and facilitates the use, teaching, and production of braille. It publishes rules, interprets, and renders opinions pertaining to braille in all existing codes. It deals with codes now in existence or to be developed in the future, in collaboration with other countries using English braille. In exercising its function and authority, BANA considers the effects of its decisions on other existing braille codes and formats; the ease of production by various methods; and acceptability to readers. _______________________________________________ BANA-Announce mailing list BANA-Announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.brailleauthority.org/mailman/listinfo/bana-announce ----- End forwarded message ----- -- John J.
