[technology taskforce] TTF Demonstration on Sept 8th @ 11

[Gunela Astbrink]

That's great news!

Will we be ensuring that people with disability are part of the call so 
that we get direct feedback? For example, Ken Hansen as an ICANN 
community member with a hearing impairment could give useful input. But 
other perspectives would also be welcome.

We still have barriers for blind people but the guidelines from Gerry 
Ellis are important to note with regard to web conferencing etiquette.

Thank you, Glenn and Judy for getting this moving.
