[Nfbmo] Resolutions which will be brought to nfb's convention

[Peter Donahue]

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.
Peter Donahue

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.
