While I don't share all, but certainly do some, of the issues about the IOM. @
Ecoclimber, sparked a thought and since I'm not sure where to put this I will just put it here and if it needs to be moved where it might have better impact, please let me know.
In the states the ADA, Americans With Disabilities Act is taken seriously. Can we get the support of of the ADA part of the government? Apologies if this has been discussed before.
I used the provisions of the act with my last job and it was quite helpful, especially if employers try to circumvent this process, which is not uncommon but at the same time are fearful of breaking this law.
When feeling better, I will do some research, to look into this issue..

The backing of the ADA, would carry a lot of weight with the IOM, as well as credibility with any advocating.
