[DCAD] Explaination and a Note: WAS RE: Disability Related Workshops in the List of Accepted IGF2024 Proposals

[Muhammad Shabbir Awan]

Dear All,

 

Thank you for your continued interest in the disability-related workshops
for IGF 2024. There have been numerous emails on this list expressing
interest in these workshops, so I wanted to provide some clarifications.

 

I had shared the list of accepted workshops for information purposes. The
workshops have been approved by the Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG),
and I do not believe that additional speakers will be necessary at this
time. Any questions regarding the workshop proposals should be directed to
the respective workshop organizers. Further information about the workshops
may be found at the workshop links also included in my original email.

 

For those interested in attending the workshops, there are two options
available:

 

1.	In-Person Participation: If you will be in Riyadh during IGF 2024,
you can join the workshops in person.
2.	Online Participation: You can also join and participate in the
workshops online.

Concerning funding, the Dynamic Coalition on Accessibility and Disability
(DCAD) has limited funds available to support people with disabilities
aspiring to attend in person. We may also provide support for online
participation. The call for applications for this funding is currently
ongoing, and decisions will be made by the fellowship selection committee.
For more information and to apply, please visit: https://www.igf-dcad.org/.

 

Hope this clarifies.

 

Best,

Of the 86 accepted workshops, I could find these 2 workshops with disability
focus:

to this list.
