Subject: [governance] Blind Community Fights for a More Accessible Web 
 
Hello all,

In an effort to create more awareness and discourse on tis list 
regarding accessibility issues for people with disabilities with ICTs, I 
will occasionally be sending out links to articles or resources on this 
subject. I hope members will take an interest and think about how they 
can further integrate this important dimension of the digital divide 
into their work.

The following article is from mashable.com and while it speaks to issues 
that people with visually impairments face on the Web, I would add that 
other types of disabilities (auditory, mobility, cognitive, learning) 
all face challenges in this regard.

It is always surprising to me that in ths day and age, all this still 
needs saying.

I am always available for questions or to point to resources, whether on 
list or off.

Best regards,


Catherine
