<p><b>Hi All,<br>
</b></p>
<p><b>Hope everyone is having a good IGF. Just 2 days after the IGF
ends, Accessibility SIG hopes you can join Accessibility SIG's
WEBINAR NOVEMBER 19: The Impact of Covid 19 and the Switch to
Virtual Meetings on the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community</b><br>
<br>
In the third webinar of this series on Accessible Meetings, we
bring experts to discuss the challenges of hard of hearing and
deaf communities in online world and also to talk about how to
turn these challenges into opportunities.<br>
<br>
As a reminder the series on Accessible Meetings focused on the
need to raise awareness and spread the message of digital
accessibility for Persons With Disabilities (PWDs). The current
pandemic has highlighted the importance of increasing the
awareness of how to make digital spaces accessible, and to have an
accessible online meetings. When everything is virtual, many
conferences are just not accessible to people with disabilities.<br>
