It appears from some of the opinions expressed in this thread that the politics surrounding blindness-related advocacy organizations in the U.S. are still very divisive. Were there always several such organizations, or did a split occur at some point in the past? I am sure advocacy organizations are effective, to some degree, at a policy level in the their respective countries. In my experience, they do not generally participate in technical standardization processes where the details of Web standards, for example, are worked out. The national advocacy organization here, Blind Citizens Australia, is also very effective in assisting individuals who are subject to discriminatory practices to obtain redress, initially by negotiation and then by proceedings under anti-discrimination laws if all else fails. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
