Francisco, not being in Europe I'm not sure what support I can give, but I wish you lots of luck. (You might like to look at how the Australian Government approaches accessibility). Cheres, and good luck. (Actually I suspect that hard work and ability will get you success ;-) Charles McCathieNevile On Fri, 17 Dec 1999, Francisco Godinho wrote: Great news Ronan ! -----Original Message----- From: Ronan McGuirk <Ronan.P.McGuirk@aib.ie> To: Francisco Godinho <f.godinho@mail.telepac.pt> Date: Sexta-feira, 17 de Dezembro de 1999 9:07 Subject: Re: eEurope - proposal of online International Petition for the Accessibility on the Internet in European Union Francisco, I am very pleased to hear about the E Europe initiative on 8 December. We also had good news in Ireland recently. On 16th November, The Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern, launched new web design guidelines for the Irish Government and public service. These guidelines include the Worldwide web consortium's WAI guidelines for access for people with disabilities. The Irish Government's web sites are being revised and we have already noticed improvements! We in the Visually Impaired Computer Society of Ireland (VICS) would be delighted to support a petition.
