[DC] DC Main Session

[Andrea Saks]

Dear Judith.

Perfect. Thank you and please quote me if you like.  Here it is again.

Andrea Saks past Coordinator of DCAD for 12 years and present representative from the ITU JCA-AHF (The Joint Coordination Activity on Accessbility  Human Factors):

“I think that the input of Persons of Disabilities needs always to be represented and preferably by a person with a disability because access impacts every DC and all areas of internet access. Technology is often designed by humans without accessibility consciousness. Therefore a member from DCAD should always be represented. Covid has magnified this”
