Subject: Re: [office-accessibility] Re: ODF Accessibility Guidelines


Mary,

the TC on Monday has accepted a motion to hold a vote to approve the 
accessibility guidelines as a Committee Specification. The minutes of 
the meeting are at

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200801/msg00025.html

Can you please create a ballot for this.

Thank you and best regards

Michael
