From Section 5 of PWD-useweb: "...medical details can be less relevant to
understanding how people with disabilities use the Web than the
perspectives of people with disabilities themselves, as well as that of
organizations that focus on accessibility strategies..."
Cries out for links but since they almost *must* be to outside sources, I
would like to include in Friday's agenda some recommendations of
organizations *of* PWDs and not just "agency type" sites. We could also
write it to include links to W3C member corporations/agencies/institutes
who have sites devoted to these issues. The "policy" and "business case"
areas must necessarily furnish positive reinforcements for corporate
involvement in these matters and several (SUN, IBM, MicroSoft spring to
mind) have spaces devoted to guideline-like accessibility
discussions/policies which relates to how PWDs will use the Web as these
places employ more of them and provide usable facilities.

ACCESSIBILITY IS RIGHT - NOT PRIVILEGE
