I would suggest that this should depend to a large extent on whether
the DC on Accessibility wants to focus on the aspects of technical
accessibility, i.e. ensuring that the remote participation technology
that is used meets a high standard of accessibility to persons with
disabilities, or whether they are interested in taking a more holistic
perspective on remote participation that would include ensuring that
all important aspects of the social and political processes that take
place at IGFs are well-accessible to remote participants.

Maybe someone from the DC on Accessibility is here and can give a
perspective on this?

Greetings,
Norbert
