you might recall the concern about the same process being developed
at EU level. I am sure there will be contributions form people on
this issue as it is certification programs are going to affect many
people ...
I point out, yet again, that our AccessForAll approach avoids this
activity in favor of asking people to describe their resources well -
without being judgmental about if they are accessible or not because
we cannot be sure of how they will be used or by whom.
