Re: Contacting Organizations about Inaccessible Websites]

Dear Andrew,all

considering the relevant section "asking others to Make the contact" as it is now, it can be considered as very generic. From our point of view it would be nice to include some specific contact details for some international or national organizations that someone could be in touch contact with them. 
P.S. Maybe a new section should be included to the report based on the people rights and laws regarding the accessbility status of public Web sites (e.g. Public sector websites to be accessible by 2010, ..)

regards
