[humanser] NCE Question

Thu Aug 1 01:24:21 UTC 2013

Hello All,

I will certainly introduce and discuss this issue Tuesday morning, as well
as other discriminatory practices  that have become apparent.    I
appreciate everyone's input.  It was evident at our teleconference meetings
that we have a  great deal to focus our energies on.  Please expect updates
as we move forward in making changes for the blind who want to be of service
to human kind.

Merry

Scott LaBarre of the NFB, was instrumental in securing the use of screen
reading software for lawyers taking their bar exams.
