Meeting with Andre Copelin and James Wood to discuss ISOC accessibility (Gunela Astbrink, Vashkar Bhattacharjee) (audio, video)
    • ISOC has formed an informal accessibility working group comprising staff from across a number of areas such as policy, engagement and content.
    • This group wishes to collaborate with our Standing Group to develop a framework of accessibility for ISOC.
    • The first step is an accessible content strategy for 2022.
    • James Wood explained that a Content Foundations training program for staff is being developed and one module is on accessibility. He will forward the draft module to us for feedback.
    • Our input:
      • content training needs to include demonstrations by persons with disability in using content
      • need to ensure that content is manually checked for accessibility through contractors
      • need to employ persons with disability at ISOC
      • need to ensure current and new online tools are accessible
      • importance of ongoing collaboration to ensure policy and programs incorporate accessibility
