Dear all,

This is great news. Congratulations to all of us - world wide - and a
profound thank to all of you who have been struggling and advocating for
years to get the message about accessibility across. To pass this
milestone is of paramount importance and provide us with new
opportunities to enhance equal access for all, internationally as well
as nationally. 

With kind regards
Elsebeth Tank
