[DCAD] DCAD Session Proposal Reminder due April 26

Sun Apr 21 09:21:53 PDT 2024

Let's work to include Andrea's suggestion in our proposal. Just because it
is now possible to have universal meetings is no justification for having
them. I find this is a local problem too. I'll try to include the idea in
my comments when I look at the document this afternoon. I think it is very
relevant and not only for the "disability " community.
That having been said and just to be difficult DCAD does need to have some
sort of regular communication to justify its existence.  Perhaps we can
come up with a better way?
