[Susan Kelly]

Fred - As a public defender in Arizona (not much money, even less travel
time), thanks for raising these points!

With the long lead time for the 2011 Jacobus tenBroek Law Symposium I
wish to raise two issues:
First: Organizers of the important symposium should consider alternative
geographic sites for this annual legal conference.  Limiting the site
every year to the NFB Baltimore headquarters limits the ability of many
to participate in the discussion and interact with attorneys and otehrs
who are advocates for blind and disabled.   It is rather ironic that a
conference named in honor of a long time professor of law at the
University of California is never held in that state.  Perhaps for the
2012 or 1023 symposium the conference could be held in California,
Texas, Colorado or another Western state.

Second:  Will the 2011 tenBroek Symposium be webcast or streamed so that
others unable to travel to Baltimore can fully participate?  In this
current technological age there is no valid excuse for not webcasting
this important event.

Thank you:   Fred W. Lopez, Member DC Bar
