John..

I'll see what I can find to help accommodate your request for further
information regarding the U.N. Ad Hoc Committee..

In reference to past and future correspondence from these fingertips,
please regard this as an open, public disclosure that from behind this
keyboard keys an individual with rapidly progressing [cognitive
disabilities].. Thusly, what flows from these fingertips will
inadvertantly reflect that on regular occasion.. ;)

Anecdotal, the email in part questioned was literally *hours* in the
making as its intended audience, this list, was given full
consideration.. It was indeed my personal hope during that time that,
should unforeseen [obstacles] still be encountered with respect to the
proffered resource opportunities, those better versed, those able to
provide a speedy remedy to same said [obstacles] might additionally
have the time available to freely address them to the benefit of all..

Again, I will do what I can from here to track down your requested
information.. Thank you in advance for understanding that it will take
a reasonable amount time to fully debrief your observation then pursue
a viable remedy.. Your feedback has been fully appreciated in its
entirety.. :)

Peace.. :)

Cindy Sue

While your offer of information and references is most appreciated, the link
above to the UN seeking out *respectful* terminology, is, with most respect,
a mess. Is there in fact a link to appropriate terminology there somewhere?
Is there content there that can be read by people who *DO NOT* have MS Word
installed?

For a web site that claims to address the needs and allegedly respects the
dignity of those with disabilities, it is probably the most inaccessible
collection of content proposed to this list in some very long time. I know
that it is not content that you authored, but it rubs the wrong way.
