 <http://www.un-gaid.org/fr/node/185> http://www.un-gaid.org/fr/node/185  : “The Global Forum will give recently established G3ict work groups the opportunity to share thoughts during panel discussions on the following critical topics related to ICTs and persons with disabilities: best practices and case studies with regards to accessibility to inclusive ICTs, core inclusive ICT opportunities, standardization and harmonization of ICTs, and best practices surrounding legislation, regulation, and enforcement. The latter of these groups will also address G3icts ongoing Digital Inclusion Index research project, which seeks to evaluate and rank countries based on how effective their governments are in promoting accessible and inclusive ICTs.”

 

Let me remind you that a regularly up dated calendar of post-WSIS related events is still maintained by CONGO at http://www.csbureau.info/posttunis.htm.  

 

All the best, 

 

Philippe
