<p>Dear All,</p>
<p>Recently, Peter Kayanga violated the IGF Code of Conduct with his
defamatory message on the email listserve. The IGF secretariat has
a zero tolerance policy towards individuals who violate the code
of conduct and have instructed us to remove Peter from the DCAD
mailing list. We have done so. He will not be allowed to rejoin
and may also be restricted from participating in any other IGF
event. The IGF takes these infractions very seriously.<br>
</p>
<p>As a reminder, all participants on this mailing list are bound by
the <font color="#3f3f3f"><strong><span
style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><a
href="https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-code-of-conduct"
target="_blank"><span style="font-weight:normal">IGF Code
of Conduct</span></a></span></strong></font>, which can
be found here, <a
href="https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-code-of-conduct">https://www.intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-code-of-conduct </a>
The code of conduct requires everyone to be respectful and
constructive communication at all times. Personal attacks and
inflammatory language have no place in this community and
undermine our collective efforts to promote accessibility and
inclusion. <br>
</p>
<p>As we continue our work in advancing digital accessibility, I
kindly request that all members maintain a professional tone and
focus on constructive dialogue. This ensures that the mailing list
remains a safe and inclusive space for all.</p>
<p>We look forward to another year of working together. We will
shortly be publishing the next version of our Accessibility
Guidelines. Moreover, we will shortly be in touch in the next few
weeks with a call for disability fellows for the IGF 2025. This
year we are on an extremely compressed schedule as the IGF will
occur in late June 2025 instead of in December.</p>
<p>Best Regards,</p>
<p>Judith Hellerstein</p>
<p>DCAD Co-Coordinator<br>
