Re: Forming an Accessibility Steering Committee

[Bill Haneman <gnome billhaneman ie>]

Hi Brian, all...

My time is a bit more limited than in the past, for reviewing email, 
etc.  However I would be honored to be part of the Committee in a 'less 
than central' role.  I'd try and stay out of the way of the movers and 
shakers, but would be happy to lend suggestions on request.  Would this 
be helpful to you guys?

Best regards

Bill
