==Vision statement==
 
 
 
Our vision is digital inclusion for persons with disabilities. This means that the Internet and its benefits are fully and equally accessible to and independently usable by persons with disabilities.
 
 
 
 
 
==Description of what SG does==
 
* Promote and advocate the digital inclusion of persons with disabilities by providing support, strategies, and mechanisms that enable us to access our digital rights
 
* Raise awareness about digital inclusion with policy-makers, decision-makers and developers
 
* Build and share expertise in digital inclusion in terms of training, mentoring and support
 
 
 
==Internet Society’s Mission==
 
 
 
The mission of the Internet Society is for the Internet to be open, globally connected, secure, and trustworthy. In that vein, ISOC supports and promotes the development of the Internet as a global technical infrastructure, a resource to enrich people’s lives, and a force for good in society. By promoting digital inclusion for persons with disability who comprise 15% of the global population, the Accessibility Standing Group closely aligns with ISOC’s mission. The Internet is for Everyone!
 
 
 
==Goals==
 
 
 
Long-term goals
 
* To change the perception on accessibility by policy-makers, decision-makers and developers so that accessibility is addressed right from the start
 
* To erase barriers to accessing digital services for people with disabilities, ensuring that we are able to acquire the same information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same services within the same timeframe as individuals without disabilities, with substantially equivalent ease of use.
 
* To create new leaders who are strong advocates for improving accessibility in the Internet eco-system
 
 
 
==Goals in next two years==
 
 
 
Building understanding about accessibility through:
 
* partnerships with key organizations
 
* promotion and communications
 
* training and mentoring* Implementation of a pilot program for training emerging leaders among persons with disabilities
 
* Improved digital inclusion for persons with disabilities in the Internet Society
 
 
 
==Short-term goal in 2022==
 
 
 
Building understanding about accessibility through:
 
* partnerships with key organizations
 
* promotion and communications
 
* training and mentoring
 
 
 
==Activities for 2022==
 
===Ongoing liaison and cooperation with ISOC staff on ensuring the accessibility of ISOC content, policy and practice===
 
Our plan is to work closely with the ISOC internal working group on accessibility and other ISOC staff. Actions include providing feedback on ISOC’s training module on accessible content, ensuring that any tools used are accessible, and work on the development of an accessibility statement and framework. Further input will be on encryption, privacy, training and accessibility. We anticipate that this will be a productive relationship on a number of accessibility issues going forwards.
 
 
 
===Build partnerships with ISOC staff, Chapters, SIGs/SGs, disability and non-profit organizations, NRIs, and Schools of Internet Governance===
 
We have already partnered with the Asia Pacific School of Internet Governance and will build on this with other Schools of Internet Governance. We also partner with ISOC staff as discussed above.
 
 
 
As well, we wish to gather information from Chapters, SIGs and other SGs about their events and activities to ensure that they are accessible to all. This may lead to new partnerships. Key organisations such as G3ict, Zero Project, IAAP, BillionStrong and Valuable 500 will be approached. We have links with NRIs and their networks on accessibility issues and will develop that further.
 
 
 
===Develop an interactive online course for training emerging leaders with disabilities about Internet governance.===
 
We are partnering with Asia Pacific School of Internet Governance to deliver a face-to-face workshop on disability digital rights and Internet Governance as phase one of a project to expand disability leadership in South Asia. Funding will be sought by APSIG to ISIF Asia to support and mentor further advocacy and outreach in participants’ own countries and beyond as part of phase 2. A key component of phase 2 is the development of an interactive online training course to facilitate a wider reach. This is a pilot project to be evaluated for adoption in other regions.
 
 
 
Learning @ Internet Society has indicated significant interest in the development and running of the online interactive course. Discussions are underway. This course aims to be a model for accessibility. The action plan budget includes indicative costing for components of the course such as inset sign language interpretation and captioning as well as underlying accessibility features of the learning platform.
 
 
 
 
 
===Launch a communication campaign targeting different stakeholders each year such as businesses, web/app designers, developers, project managers, education community and policy makers. ===
 
 
 
For each targeted community, specific content will be designed (eg. for designers/developers, a country/regional level annual digital accessibility challenge can be organized). For organizations/businesses we will focus on the benefits of complying with digital accessibility standards and the costs of not complying (legal costs, impact on the reputation etc) as well as the positive aspects of ICT accessibility criteria in public procurement.
 
 
 
Each year a particular target stakeholder group and/or country/region may be targeted.
 
 
 
In 2022, it will be a six month campaign due to funding potentially available mid-year. We are considering conducting a pilot campaign targeting business in a country where the government has accessibility legislation/regulation.
 
 
 
3 key messages will be delivered via email, LinkedIn, Google display and Facebook for business with a dedicated landing page.
 
 
 
3 webinars will be organized targeting business each based on one of the key messages.

*''In addition to the communications campaign to business, members of the leadership team will find external travel funding to give presentations and participate at national, regional and global Internet conferences and meetings. Promotion of existing resources such as the ISOC Accessibility Toolkit will be part of this communications campaign as well as networking with the Internet community. Three members of the leadership team have submitted three separate workshop proposals to the APrIGF. We will also organise a workshop proposal to the IGF.'' The need for business cards is important for profiling the ISOC Accessibility Standing Group. These will be produced with 3D-UV Braille.
 
 
 
* In addition, we will arrange an annual meeting with members.
