On Monday 28 August 2000 the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity
Commission ("HREOC") will publicly release its decision about the SOCOG
Olympic website, which was developed in partnership with IBM.
There will be a Press Conference 11 a.m. at the Public Interest Advocacy
Centre, Level 1, 46-48 York Street, Sydney. The complainant and his
legal team will discuss the decision and its implications for SOCOG and
for website development more generally.
As one of the expert witnesses who gave evidence about the usability of
the SOCOG web site, I will be at the Press Conference. A copy of my
statement and links to background information is available at:
