Dear Jorge:

Thank you very much for your announcement on workshops related to Accessibility of Persons with Disabilities.

The most current program contents of our workshop on "Accessibility standards development and UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities" to be held on 12th November 15:00-16:30 is available at:

 http://www.intgovforum.org/wks_session_info.php?numes=24

We are still struggling with "accessibility" of the Conference itself including no accessible guest room at the venue hotel, no availability of sign language interpreter for our deaf speaker from Colombia, &c.

We should not see again such inconvenient barriers for participants with disabilities in the 3rd IGF in Egypt.

The IGF must respect the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (http://www.un.org/disabilities/default.asp?id=199)

Best

Hiroshi
