622.0. "Can We Do More?" by DNEAST::STARIE_DICK (I'd rather be skiing) Wed Sep 28 1988 17:11

    There is a new notes file out there that I would like you to know
    about. it is for the physically challenged, and is open to anyone
    who has an interest in that subject.  
    
    	CXCAD::PHYSCHALLENGED
    
    In that notes file I have started a discussion on what DEC can do
    with it's product set to aid the physically challenged. I have proposed
    the establisment of a program office for the purpose of adapting
    existing DEC equipment to work better for the physically challenged.
    
    My question to the readers of this conference is:
    
    	How do you formally propose such an idea? to whom? in what format?
    	what justification/market info should be attached? etc??
    
    
    I will look forward to hearing from you, either here or via email.
    
    thanks

622.1To spread the word further...GUIDUK::BURKEHappiness is a long bachelorhood!Thu Sep 29 1988 02:109
    Don't forget to put a note in the Easynet Conference about this
    also: TLE::EASYNET_CONFERENCES.
    
    You might further want to consider setting "Select"ion for .0 to
    add your conference to a users notebook.
    
    Good Luck,

    This conference *is* announced in EASYNET_CONFERENCES (and 
    EASYNOTES.LIS as well). I have done the SET NOTE/CONF on the
    base note so people can add the conference easily to there notebooks.
    
    Perhaps others can address the other issues in .0 regarding where
    to make suggestions about a program office creation to adapt
    existing products for use by the physically challenged.

622.3Where, Oh Where?ALBANY::SCHICKEDANZThere ARE no guarantees...Wed Oct 19 1988 22:058
    Dare I suggest that this would be an excellent example of an idea
    begging for a champion? See note 613 for a discussion of an Ombudsman,
    etc...
    
    Sorry I don't have a suggestion of where to go. Please let us know
    if you find a way to make this work.
