At ITU meeting on audiovisual media accessibility
Thursday, 19 January 2012
Mark Magennis is at a meeting of the International Telecommunications Union's ITU-T Focus Group on Audiovisual Media Accessibility (FG AVA) in Barcelona today. Except he's sitting in his office because he's attending remotely using a rather complex set of remote access tools, including GoToWebinar. As co-chair of the Working Group on Access of Working Procedures, it's Mark's job to ensure that the meetings and the workings of the Focus Group are accessible to as many people as possible, including people with disabilities and people participating remotely.
There's a lot of work to be done to come up with a set of participation and collaboration tools and processes that are accessible, usable and reliable.
