5. Best Practice Forums (link)
– DCAD may wish to explore applying for a Best Practice Forum on
accessibility. If successful, we can have a consultant preferably with a
disability work on specific outputs relevant to accessibility for the IGF.
Key aspects are the design of the new IGF website, online participation
and accessibility of the venue. This may act as a path to best practice for
decision-makers based on existing policy such as the UN Disability
Inclusion Strategy. https://www.un.org/en/content/disabilitystrategy/
6. ITU guidelines on accessible online participation
