<div>Thank you All, <br>
<br>
for your contributions and support, I highly appreciate
it!<br>

Indeed to have the persons with disabilities voices and
concerns raised in these forums is important, but the
utmost importance is to have them involved, be part of the
process, be part of the team. <br>
<br>
</div>
Could we have this in signatures and forward it to the
secretariat to have this discussed as part of AOB in the
December meeting? <br>
<br>
</div>
De, whats your thought? <br>

Yes we often forget those with disabilities and I
think now we are reminded of it, thus imperative we
all support the call for inclusion. May be pass that
as a resolution to make or have a rep from them at
part of MAG process.<br>
Thus should also apply to member nations too that way
we will no longer forget.<br>
Nice day all.<br>

<div>Let me add to Lorena's suggestion of a youth
category, (made on the Bestbits list this morning)
the need to have a constant voice for people with
disabilities. Judy Okite has provided this for the
last few years, but she has finished her term of
appointment. She made this suggestion herself at the
last MAG meeting in Istanbul. Since one billion
people around the world suffer from some disability,
and the Internet can offer considerable relief for
them, they are the holders of a very significant
"stake".</div>
<div>Sadly it is easy to forget if one does not suffer
from a disability oneself, which is why it is so
important to have a dedicated voice for these
stakeholders in all such groups.</div>
