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
