Peter Olaf Looms

Chairman

FG-AVA

ITU-T Focus Group onAudiovisual Media Accessibility (FG AVA)


FG AVA Vision

December 2012.

FG AVA has successfully completed its work.

The FG AVA roadmap with accessibility actions provides a solid basis for future work by the ITU and other key constituents.

The roadmap gives concrete examples of good practice.

It shows how the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD) can be applied to the delivery, use and enjoyment of digital AV media.

Persons with disabilities and their organizations feel that the Focus Group has made a difference.

From AVA-I-0002: Suggested objectives and procedures for the first Focus Group meeting


FG AVA Values

Inclusive (working with and for persons with disabilities using the principles of Universal Design)

Consensus-seeking (identifying areas where there is agreement, and also those where there is none)

Evidence-based (the rationale for our work should be explicit and supported by empirical studies)

Open (actions recommended by the Focus Group should promote interoperability and be based on open standards)

Transparent (the rationale for actions recommended by the Focus Group should be transparent)
