I don't think writing the delegate will help at this point, since he/she only goes to the conference once a year in April.

I think eventually that this pamphlet or piece of literature will come about. It just takes time. It took several years of this same type of back-and-forth between the groups and the conference for the Fourth Edition to even be considered, and then several more years before it became a reality. Here in our area, it took six years of discussion at area assemblies, quarterlies, and groups before an area aceesibilities committee was formed.

Patience is the watchword here.
