Chris,
I doubt this will ever be an official NABS call if we bring ACB
people on. I also doubt it would be an ACB NABS (alliance of blind
students) call if we brought NFB people on. If you can set this thing
up, and it actually looks like it could happen, I'll help however I
can. But I think we have to set up our own conference call if we want
something like this-it's not going to be something I think either of
the student divisions will jump on.
Best,
Kirt
