Dear list members,
The United Nations (UN) is holding a meeting in September in New York at the level of Heads of States to define the future global roadmap to promote the inclusion of persons with disabilities in all development efforts. To contribute to a successful outcome, the Broadband Commission, G3ICT, the International Disability Alliance, ITU, Microsoft, Telecentre.org Foundation, and UNESCO have launched a global consultation to capture recommendations from all stakeholders on the contribution of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) - such as websites, mobile devices and services radio, and TV sets and services - to achieve the autonomous participation of persons with disabilities in all aspects of society.
This consultation is a unique opportunity to share experiences, opinions, and recommendations with global policy makers at a time when the future development framework is being shaped.
For those who currently work on this issue, please take our survey (open from 20 May to 10 June 2013) at the following page: http://lnkd.in/KQi_P8.
If you prefer filling up an accessible Word document, please let me know at [log in to unmask] and I will provide you with one.
Alternatively, I can also arrange a telephone interview with anyone interested to collect your opinions.
Many thanks for you help,
Kind regards,
Amal
