[Chapter-delegates] E-meeting invitation "Accessibility and Disabilities", 22 January 2009, UTC 20:00

[Sabrina Wilmot]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to an e-meeting (using Marratech) on

   22nd January 2009 at UTC 20:00 entitled

       "Accessibility and Disabilities"

We are happy to have the following experts on this call:

* Cynthia Waddell - Vice Chair, ISOC Disability and Special Needs Chapter,
* Gunela Astbrink - Board Director of ISOC Australia, and
* Arnoud van Wijk - ISOC's Disabilities Project Coordinator,

The e-meeting is aimed at helping you creating awareness on Disability 
accessibility and support in your country. Accessibility can be 
considered on several different levels, e.g.:
* Infrastructure and carriage - real time text protocols and applications
* Tools - authoring and related software - building in accessibility
* Content - accessible web sites

Chapters who are active in this area as well as those who would like to 
know more are warmly invited to join the call.

Due to the low turn out of our recent e-meetings, we would like to 
establish a quorum of 5 Chapter delegates for the call. If you would 
like to join please reply to <chapters (at) isoc (dot) org> or sign up 
on the Chapter wiki at:
