Hello Fred and list,<br>
<br>
Why propose webcasting, rather than web conferencing? Webcasting is
only one direction, thus all but shutting out interaction by those
online. The American Bar Association has no trouble or reluctance
conferencing its many CLE events. While a symposium in Baltimore will
draw many from within the NFB, an online symposium may draw in some
agency or even private-bar participation. It may also expand the pool
of those willing to present. We might even consider having the ABA
cosponsor, thus raising the event's profile and increasing attendance
to beyond what the Center could accomodate.<br>
<br>
Cordially,<br>

<pre wrap="">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
