    ACCESSIBILITY IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS • Accessibility team composition • Integrated testing tools • Design for mobile devices
    Gender Geographic locations Disabilities of Web accessibility
    Policy, top–down support, educational working groups, customer data, and a central accessibility team have helped mature web accessibility at IGF. Collaboration groups are essential for gathering feedback from users with disabilities and experts in the field. Alt text for figures is a challenge for publishers, and using authors or machine learning to provide text descriptions may be a solution. Accessibility is not an achievement to be won and done but a culture paradigm that integrates inclusive design into the very early phases of a product.
