The intent is to provide or develop an agreed upon standardized/ quality assurance approach to selecting and writing health information to be posted on the web. There would be approximately 20 principal information specialists involved plus many more contributors. Presently, I have located 14 sets of guidelines, 12 of which are more appropriate, particularily in design area, for print material The group(s) work in the electronic media . An area which I believe distances the average consumer seeking health information by the "digital divide" My background includes extensive work with hthe community and I believe the gold standard to be working with the intended audience. Also, I beat the drum loudly about including people with a range of literacy and language skills. I look forward to the reponse. Thank You. Elsie Petch
