[Accessibility] Candidate Quote 1

Too many of today's technology products and services remain inaccessible to, or only marginally usable by persons with disabilities, because the needs
of users with disabilities are rarely considered appropriately (if at all) in the design proces. Many needless barriers could be readily removed
by systematically providing appropriate contextual information to both applications and
system services through well-defined standards of practice. We are delighted that the Free Standards Group has organized an international,
cross-disability, industry-wide effort to provide such standards.
