[nabs-l] [Nfbnet-members-list] Threw Our Eyes interview, Ride into History, Race for Independence, Wed. June 22, 8:00 pm EDT

Sun Jun 19 06:45:08 UTC 2011

Carley,
  The two organizations don't really claim to be "friends" as such-it
seems like now they just mostly ignore each other, work jointly when
their agendas converge and play politics when they don't.  Maybe they
aren't enemies, but the official organizations don't really advertise
themselves as friends.
  While it would be great to have people from both organizations
participate in a joint call, I don't see it happening.  Here's hoping
though, I guess  It's certainly a nice thought-although, if the call
were to have presentations from members of both organizations, it
probably should be jointly moderated and attended.  The NFB (or
probably even NABS) would, I'm betting, not be inclined to go there.
So maybe we'll have better luck going through unnoficial channels and
setting this up on our own?  No need to make it an official event for
either the Federation or the Council-I think it's safe to say that
idea was doomed to fail before it was brought up.
  Best,
Kirt
