interesting. The time was set to accomodate Europeans as well as us.
Please note that you can attend this meeting from other MOO's as they are
linked. One of these is Diversity University.
If you have a character there then log on as normal and do
@go #2156
to get to the GNA cafe.
I hope it goes well.
The following is a public service announcement:

GLOBAL NETWORK ACADEMY
MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT

Name: GNA, Internet and the blind computer user.

Description: This is a conference to help acquaint GNA members to
the capabilities and access limitations of the blind in accessing
the internet. It will be a forum to show others ways in which
internet access is different and similar to that for the sighted.
This is to provide a positive perspective so that the blind are
kept in mind on any policy GNA might take which could limit access
by the blind. It is meant to be a positive demo so please attend
if you can.
