Subject: Re: [Chapter-delegates] ISOC meetings in San Francisco for ICANN 40<br>
- Disability awareness for Chapters<br>
<br>
Dear Jacek,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your positive response. I'm glad to hear that there have<br>
been some important Polish disability projects.<br>
<br>
This current ISOC-AU project funded through the ISOC Community Grants<br>
programme aims to increase awareness among Chapters about disability and<br>
accessibility especially working towards mainstream Internet solutions<br>
rather specialised solutions. It will mean that Chapters can run<br>
seminars for their own members about disability and how to improve<br>
accessibility, thus increasing awareness of the many issues involved.<br>
<br>
The disability awareness module will be trialled at the Chapters meeting<br>
at INET Sri Lanka in May. At the conclusion of the project, the<br>
materials will be made available on the ISOC website for use by any Chapter.<br>
<br>
During the time of the project, I'll be running some Webex conference<br>
sessions to discuss the disability awareness module and to clarify any<br>
questions. This is good for two reasons: to assist those who may not be<br>
able to attend INET in Sri Lanka and to ensure that I am covering the<br>
most important points based on the questions that I receive.<br>
<br>
I'll be happy to discuss this project further with you and would be<br>
delighted if the Polish Chapter would like to use the disability<br>
awareness module.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Gunela Astbrink<br>

Dear Gunela,<br>
<br>
This is a really interesting topic and I would be delighted to<br>
organize similar event in our Polish Chapter. I remeber 8-9 years ago<br>
we had similar discussion and even found an apted engineer who<br>
constructed clever devices for disabled people allowing them better<br>
net presence.<br>
<br>
In the very early days of Polish Internet (mid 90's) we had even<br>
so called IdN (Internet dla/for Niepelnosprawnych/Disabled) initiative<br>
(it was based on example of my project Internet for Schools (IdS),<br>
initiated and run by late Marek Car, an energetic animator of Internet<br>
Community of Poland and I took part in several their undertakings,<br>
related to the teleworking possibilities for disabled persons).<br>
<br>
I would appreciate if you could link me with the persons involved<br>
in current ISOC initiative.<br>
<br>
With kindest regards,<br>

Hi Sabrina,<br>
<br>
I'd like to have an agenda item at the Chapters and Members meeting during<br>
ICANN 40 on the ISOC Community Grant project: Disability Awareness for<br>
Chapters.<br>
<br>
This project is developing an awareness-raising tool for ISOC Chapters to<br>
use to inform their membership and the broader Internet community of the<br>
social benefit in assisting people with disabilities to use the Internet.<br>
This will be done with ongoing collaboration of targeted Chapters in the<br>
Asian region to set up a “disability training module” which can be used by<br>
Chapters when organising events, seminars, conferences or training sessions.<br>
<br>
The “disability training module” will be designed so that a session can be<br>
organised by Chapters with limited or no experience in disability issues. It<br>
will act as a resource by not only providing suitable content but also by<br>
consideration of accessible venues, liaising with disability organisations<br>
and obtaining local speakers with disabilities.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to discussing it further on Sunday at the Chapters and<br>
Members meeting at ICANN 40.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Gunela Astbrink<br>
