I attend the monthly meetings of the Sydney equivalent of this
organization, plus represent the voices of disabled people on the
Australian equivalent of the International Standards
Organization.

 PR> This one  day workshop  will include  panels and  talks on the  
 PR> other "equal access" issue: How can access to communication and 
 PR> information services  be  made  easily  available  to  all, not  
 PR> only those  with unimpaired hearing, speech, vision, and motor 
 PR> abilities? 

At Standards Australia, I had introduced Risk Analysis.  The two
working committees have agreed with me, to design Information
Techhnology interfaces for 95% of the Australian adult
population.

At the moment, we are gathering the data on our 95th percentile.
I'm not sure if you will ever read or be able to respond to this
message.   This conference is not really for serious issues that
concern disability.
