[DCAD] DCAD session at the IGF

[Judith Hellerstein]

HI De

I chose the Round table format as I wanted it to be interactive, so there will 
be plenty of time to hear from our members of projects and topics they want to 
be covered. Since the IGF is a hybrid meeting, and we will have an onsite and 
online moderators, so we can take contributions and speakers from everyone.  
Looking forward to your ideas.  All IGFs sessions have human captioning and at 
DCAD we will also be providing International sign language for our session.  I 
also mentioned in our session information that we will be reading comments from 
the Chat into the record to ensure that all members, including those with 
cognitive disabilities, can take an active role in our session.

Best

Judith Hellerstein
