Thanks Monica!

I’ve accepted/incorporated the edits; I think we’re ready to go now. Will follow up shortly off-list so as not to bother everyone with the distribution details.

Thanks everyone!

Hi Michael and all,

I reviewed the document and left some comments for review. Co-chairs, please let us know when the letter is done and ready for distribution. I wish we had CATO letterhead to use.

Thanks,
Monica

Hello CATO members,



Many of you are aware of this already, but we are preparing a letter of support<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rIDdoUgEcQ_Da8c4IQLyOQFxH4Wm8O5iKlGeOgTLlQ0/edit?usp=sharing> to be sent out on Thursday for Global Accessibility Awareness Day. We went over the letter at today’s CATO meeting, and would like to give you all a final opportunity to review it before it is sent. If you have any final suggestions, please feel free to add them as comments using Google Docs “Suggesting” (track changes) mode (available from the pencil icon to the right of the toolbar).



Many of us have added our signatures to the document. If you would like and are comfortable doing so, please feel free to add yours as well.



The deadline for adding suggestions and signatures is tomorrow, May 14, at 3 p.m., so that it can be finalized before sending it out on Thursday.



Here’s another link to the document: May 2025 Letter of Support<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rIDdoUgEcQ_Da8c4IQLyOQFxH4Wm8O5iKlGeOgTLlQ0/edit?usp=sharing>.
