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

[Sabrina Wilmot]

Dear Colleagues,

This is a friendly reminder of our upcoming e-meeting on "Accessibility 
and Disabilities" chaired by Cynthia Waddell, Vice Chair of the ISOC 
Disability and Special Needs Chapter, on 22nd January 2009 at UTC/GMT 20:00.

In addition to using Marratech software we will be *captioning* the 
meeting so that deaf and hard of hearing can follow what is said. You 
can use the following link to access the captured text during our meeting:

A transcript of the event will also be made available later.

I hope you can join us! Please let me know in case you have any 
questions on how to participate in this e-meeting.

Thanks,
Sabrina Wilmot
ISOC
