> This morning, the delegates to the Diplomatic Conference being held under the auspices of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in Marrakesh, Morocco, voted in favor of a treaty that will increase the number of published works available to blind and print-disabled people all over the world. This historic result would not have been achieved without your support, expressed by signing our petition and taking other actions to let these delegates know how important this treaty is to all of us who cannot read print. On behalf of blind and print-disabled people everywhere, the National Federation of the Blind and the American Council of the Blind thank you for your support of this groundbreaking treaty. We will send you additional information as we monitor the progress of the treaty towards official signature and ratification in the United States, and we urge those of you outside the United States to monitor developments in your own country so that this important instrument is brought into full effect. Thank you again for your attention to this historic and critically important development.
