..., Visually Impaired or Otherwise Print Disabled

Due by this coming Sunday the 30th November

This falls loosely under the LA values of "We value free access to,
sharing of and repurposing of information"

Details are here:

http://www.ag.gov.au/Consultations/Pages/MarrakeshTreatyOptionsForImplementation.aspx

quick summary:

"On 23 June 2014, the Australian Government signed the treaty and
announced it will now bring it forward for ratification. The treaty will
help overcome the barriers which affect the availability of accessible
books and other material for people who are print-disabled worldwide."

Unlike AGs previous attempt at a "public" (now defined as: peak industry
groups, companies, academics and non-government organisations and NOT
individuals) they haven't actually promised to publish anything.

Perhaps EFA might volunteer to host individual submissions if AG goes
selective about publishing again (
https://www.efa.org.au/2014/09/25/ind-copdis-submissions/ ).

Well see. Much thanks to all that provide submissions.

Daniel
