Randall and Ralph, really is a big challenge. As stated, have the idea is easy. People adopt is difficult. Therefore my main question is not whether the symbol is good or not. The main question is: We need a universal symbol?

I think there may be something informal, to test whether people adopt. Who manages the symbols of WIFI or Wheelchair? ᐧ On Tue, Jan 13, 2015 at 5:36 PM, Fernando Aguirre < [email protected]> wrote: > Yes Cadu and Anderson, people can be represented by globe.
