Good evening everyone,
Let's hope no one shoots down that Apple resolution like they've done
for the past two years. Although Apple has done much to include
accessibility in their products like the iPhone, iPad, and iTunes we still
need to keep them on their toes. Here's hoping that this resolution will
pass and we won't see a repeat performance of the past two years with regard
to Apple.

I got this from an ACB list and thought you’d like to see it.
Hello,
As you know, the nfb convention is going on currently. Tweets were sent
from nfb’s resolutions meeting. Though these are extremely brief summaries,
this list will give you an idea of many of the concerns which will be
brought before nfb’s membership. This is not a complete list, and I have no
more information on any of what is mentioned below. I just thought their
might be an acb member, other than myself, who might find this interesting.
