[technology taskforce] Web Accessibility Victory

[Raymond Mamattah]

That’s a good Judith,

I have been a volunteer for the UN e-governance survey and accessibility of
websites by the disabled was one of the things looked out for.  Past
results of the survey can be found in this url:

>From this I’m sure disabled accessibility is a requirement, hence this is a
good ruling.
