Dear Ed and Elvira and All:
(Background: Priya and Quinn are Youth Representatives of the *Respectful Interfaces* Programme, part of the Communications Coordination Committee for the U.N. (NGO). You are invited to associate with this RESPITES programme which I am grateful to have founded within the CCC/UN. Our own Disability Party Founder Paul Cannaday of course inspired us years ago and continues to inspire us as to a Human Rights basis and approach to disability awareness and truly was implicitly a forerunner toward what became The Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities. and a pioneer in bringing these values and practical aspects onto the Internet, an historical landmark. Hi Paul!
Foreground: Thank you much for your posts and the embedded patience with the working in mine. the U.N. Computers most available near civil society events at U.N. Headquarters N.Y. are in much demand and as I see the note now there is phrasing that is unclear. I appreciate you probably read "a short not" as intended to mean "a short note". And "or both" looks like part of the intended sentence.
It is real good to hear about other colleagues and VOR and C.U.R.E. Can we all tie in together? Yesterday as usual was very interesting at the U.N. as far as participating toward a new Treaty toward the Rights of Older Persons, review of Pres. Obama's Cairo speech (emphasizing mutual respect an dhuman rights) in the light of planning toward disarmament events, continuing work keeping civil society in link with other stakeholders (government, business...; green jobs, and much more).
Let's all partner (keep partnering) as we move into a new phase of NDP, I propose a steering committee and regrouping as this is the year for transitioning.
Great relating together, and with very best wishes,
*Respectfully Interfacing,*
LDMF.
