Specifically, one of the most recent situations where the iOS app bundles pets with service animals, making it difficult for a guide dog user to find appropriate bookings because the search results become limited to those hosts who only accept pets. As has been discussed and as many of us know, our guide dogs are not pets.<o:p></o:p></p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><p>This meeting will take place this week on Wednesday, December 22 at 12 Noon Eastern time. This translates as 11 AM Central, 10 AM Mountain, 9 AM Pacific, and 8 AM Alaska. This meeting will be added to the NAGDU events calendar for those who subscribe to it. The Zoom invitation follows. Thank you and we hope to see many of you there.<o:p></o:p></p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>The National Association of Guide Dog Users is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.<o:p></o:p></p><p><br>Topic: NAGDU Business Meeting<br>Time: Dec 22, 2021 11:00 AM Central Time (US and Canada)<br><br>Join Zoom Meeting<br><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84431263250">https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84431263250</a><br><br>Meeting ID: 844 3126 3250<br>One tap mobile<br>+13462487799,,84431263250# US (Houston)<br>+12532158782,,84431263250# US (Tacoma)<br><br>Dial by your location<br> +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)<br> +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)<br> +1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)<br> +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)<br> +1 646 558 8656 US (New York)<br> +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)<br>Meeting ID: 844 3126 3250<br>Find your local number: <a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kcxxyW74vb">https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kcxxyW74vb</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p><o:p> </o:p></p><p><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>-- <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Respectfully,<br><b>Raul A.
