Der Judith,

Your proposal in the body of the email sounds good. Did the group agree to this plan. Did I miss something?

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

Dear DCAD,
Judith wrote to me this morning explaining the urgency to submit a request for the DCAD session at the IGF. I've copied that part of her message below, together with my reply. Considering our current initiative to breathe new life into DCAD, I thought it might be a good idea to move this part of the discussion onto a wider stage as a way of inviting members to think about what they want from DCAD.

"As a DC we are guaranteed a session but had not realized that we have to apply before the deadline, which was yesterday, to get our session. I wrote to Celine, the new assistant to DC's and asked her if we had to submit before the deadline and she said we did so I quickly put something together.  The form does not send us a copy of the proposal and I thought it would, so do not have a copy of it.  But it is just a review of the work we have done this year at DCAD and what we hope to do in the future."

DCAD sessions have always been valuable for the opportunity they provide for members from all over the world to share the ideas and initiatives from their various locations that have appeared over the year just past. A generous portion of the available time should be dedicated to that function. A number of speakers can be pre-selected (self-nomination through the DCAD list??) but there should still be time reserved for speakers contributing spontaneously.

Over to all of you :-)
De
