[Chapter-delegates] [DCAD] Call for IGF2024 Accessibility Fellowships for Persons with Disabilities

[Judith Hellerstein]

Dear All,

With the generous support of internet pioneer and philanthropist, Vint Cerf and 
Google LLC, the IGF-DCAD (Internet Governance Forum -- Dynamic Coalition on 
Accessibility and Disability) is pleased to announce the availability of 
accessibility grants for persons with disabilities attending the IGF 2024 online 
or in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. We understand the importance of inclusivity and 
strive to ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to participate in the 
Internet Governance discussions. This is a step in that direction.

The support grants may cover a range of expenses associated with travel, 
accommodation, accessibility accommodation, or remote internet support and 
participation in the event, ensuring that individuals with disabilities can 
fully engage in the important discussions at the IGF. Recognizing that in-person 
participation may not be feasible for everyone, we are committed to providing an 
accessible virtual experience for those who opt for remote engagement. For more 
details, visit:

DCAD firmly believes that fostering diversity and inclusivity in internet 
governance leads to better policies and decisions that reflect the needs of all 
stakeholders. Through this support initiative, we hope to empower persons with 
disabilities to actively engage in internet policy discussions, whether they 
attend in person or virtually.
