[DCAD] DCAD Sessions at the 2024 IGF

[Judith Hellerstein]

Dear DCAD Members,

The final Schedule for the IGF is not out yet, but we wanted to call your 
attention to several DCAD sessions. There is a draft schedule up on the IGF's 
website. https://intgovforum.org/en/filedepot_download/305/28022 This link may 
change as they update the schedule.

1) DCAD's annual meeting, where we will be releasing the new revised DCAD 
Accessibility Guidelines.  We will be holding this meeting on Day 2, Tuesday 
December 17 from 3-4pm Riyadh time which is 12-1pm UTC.  For those who will be 
on site, it will be held in Bilateral Room 6. It will have captioning and zoom 
capabilities. If there is a direct need for sign language interpretation, please 
do let us know.

Our Accessibility guidelines are up on the DCAD's website and comments are 
accepted until November 30. https://igf-dcad.org/accessibility-guidelines/

2) DCAD's joint session with the DC on Open Educational Resources will be held 
on Day 3, December 18 from 11:10am to 12:40pm, in a 90minute time slot.  It will 
be held in Workshop Room 9 and will have captioning and International Sign Language.

3) The DC's main Session will feature our own Dr. Shabbir as one of the 
speakers. This session will also be on Day 3, December 18 from 9:00am to 
10:15am.  It will have captioning and also hopefully sign language interpretation

For those interested in following the work of the Dynamic Coalitions 
Coordinating Group, here is a link to their meetings, session summaries and 
transcripts.https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/dc-coordination-activities

We also will be introducing our 4 Disability fellows to the IGF and looking 
forward to them getting more involved with DCAD and other areas.

Erin Brown from the Bahamas, Sabina Hermida from México, Ngwa Jolenta Rose 
Afanwi from Cameroon, and our returning fellow and Mentor Nicodemus Nyakundi 
from Kenya.  We hope those at the IGF get a chance to meet with them.

We will also be promoting DCAD at the Dynamic Coalition's booth within the IGF 
Village.

If you will be at the IGF, do let us know so we can meet you. If you have any 
questions, do let us know.  You can reach us at info at igf-dcad.org

Best,

Judith Hellerstein

Dr. Muhammad Shabbir
