[governance] May consultation: IGC input

[Judy Okite]

Hello Adam, Deidre, All,

thank you, very much, just to let you know, we are taking notes and indeed,
the issues that you are raising are quite important.

1. on the PWD's and accessibility, DCAD forwarded recommendations to the
Secretariat,   bearing in mind, the possibility of holding the forum in
three different venues.

I strongly encourage these discussions.


Kind Regards,
