Why is this a problem?
Chairpersons and facilitators often need help to run inclusive and accessible meetings, but support is limited. Common problems include:
- Few resources are available on how to lead inclusively and accessibly to ensure everyone, including D/deaf and D/disabled people, can participate.
- Little guidance is provided on managing diverse or cross-cultural groups.
- Time and resources to manage both technical and accessibility tasks are limited.
- Handling conflict resolution without enough training and support.
- Knowledge of accessible technology for online meetings and document sharing is not common.
