On 2nd April, the Board of Trustees unanimously passed a set of 
resolutions on accessibility for persons with disabilities:

The first resolution states: RESOLVED, that the board fully supports the 
President and CEO in taking further steps to build a culture
of accessibility within ISOC and work toward eliminating barriers to 
participation and engagement with ISOC’s content, events, services, 
processes, and practices for persons with disabilities;

This is followed by three more specific resolutions.

The Accessibility Standing Group congratulates the Board of Trustees in 
making these landmark resolutions that will be greatly benefit persons 
with disabilities and that will underpin ISOC's vision of The Internet 
is for Everyone.

While this was a joint decision by the Board of Trustees, we especially 
wish to show our sincere appreciation to Dr Muhammad Shabbir who 
initiated this important milestone and who is currently standing for 
re-election.
