“I have worked with Avneesh since he started with the DAISY Consortium. I have found him to be a gifted strategist with amazing insights. He is committed to improve access to information for persons with disabilities. As the W3C changes to respond to a changing world, I believe Avneesh would be a huge asset on the Advisory Board. I will be encouraging AC representatives to vote for him.”
