Clarification
The article, "Report on the Meeting of the ACB Board of Directors: February 17-18, 2002," which appeared in the April Braille Forum paraphrases the content of ACB Resolution 99-30 within the context of the discussion which took place at that meeting. The use of the word "convicted" is erroneous. ACB Resolution 99-30 refers to "documented disreputable business practices." The account of discussions which occurred at the ACB board of directors meeting should not be construed to imply, in any way, that MaxiAids has ever been convicted of a crime. As far as we are aware, MaxiAids has never been convicted of illegal business practices.
