[DCAD] DCAD Session Proposal Reminder due April 26

Sun Apr 21 08:51:49 PDT 2024

Dear Judith and all,

Due to the many conflicts of many meetings that are occurring during this past week and this week to follow and many of them being at the same time  and because organizers having no recourse  with no method of checking in advance being employed by the planners of the timing of these meetings as to which meetings that pertain to the progress of persons with disabilities so that they not being scheduled in conflict, I regret I am unable to help.

I am taking the ITU to task about this. So I hope IGF and DCAD take this on board. These past two weeks have been a nightmare for me trying to attend all that I need to and not managing it.

Sorry I can’t help within the time frame given due to the schedule of conflicts I am trying to navigate.

Apologies.

All the best

Andrea

HI DCAD Members,

As was discussed on the call, I have begun drafting the session proposal focusing on the third theme, Advancing human rights and inclusion in the digital age

I have also copied and pasted the instructions sheet from the IGF about the requirements needed for the session, what type of session, the length of the session, and other required details.  I am attaching this as a Word document, titled Proposal Questions.

As Nicodemus suggested, I have opened a Google Doc so we could collaborate together.  Hopefully the document is accessible to all.  If people have accessibility issues, please do let me know, but I believe since it is straight text there should not be issues.

Everyone will have commenting access to the document so that I can see the suggestions comments that you are making to the document.  We also need to decide on the type of session, Roundtable, theatre, etc and the length of the session

Also which of the SDG goals do we meet

The shared document can be found here, https://docs.google.com/document/d/1t6BDhVk19kGojdaJL6vlx8NPVQFJf9OJ0Xggbw0uIrs/edit?usp=sharing

I look forward to hearing from all

Best,

Judith Hellerstein

Hello Judith,
I was wondering if there is a shared document that we could use to collaborate on drafting the session proposal? If so, would you mind sharing it with me?

Warm regards,
