Well, the scope isn't really that narrow. The 4 main functions are about the
same as they were after the first month of discussion.
1. Provide a community for blind technology professionals to help each other
with technical problems. This is done via email lists and a wiki See
http://wiki.iavit.org.
2. Work with technology providers to make them aware of accessibility
problems and help with solutions where ever ppossible.
3. Help educate employers on the capabilities of blind computer
professionals.
4. Promote Information Technology as a career for blind people. This is to
be done by providing information on jobs and job searches. We hope someday
to be able to offer scholarships and technology grants to blind computer
professionals.

What's the scope of the association finally?
Still that narrow scope to only convince the hardware manufacturers to
create accessible BIOSs and other hardware things?
Thanks.
