<div>Hi Glenn,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Andrea Saks has been working on this in the ITU space (and with national governments) for many years and started off the first Resolution on the road to the PP series of text in 2010 either at the WTSA 2008 or WTDC in 2010. She has done incredible work
to move the ball forward. She is largely the person responsible for captioning at events. If you need links to her, many of us have them. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>Jane</div>
