[Chapter-delegates] ITU Resolution 175- Resolution for the Rights of Disabled Persons

[Glenn McKnight]

Judith Hellerstein   of  ISOC  DC  Chapter  upon return from  a grueling
 two  weeks in Busan, Korea  at the ITU   shared with me  the document  on
 rights of the disabled in our  digital space.

FINAL ACTS*
OF THE PLENIPOTENTIARY CONFERENCE   Resolution 175  highlighted the need to
recognize the billion people  with  disabilities, especially those in
developing countries.

A number of  recommendations  were made in the resolution as to making our
communication more accessible.

Judith, Gunella and myself  have advocating within  ISOC  these concerns
 and given this document  we need  to see how this  blueprint call assist
ISOC in its policy work to ways and means to implement these concepts.
