Summary
Accessible registration requires simple, user-friendly processes that work with assistive technologies such as screen readers, proactive accommodation support, and financial assistance. Offering multiple registration options, clear role expectations, readily available accessibility services, and compensation helps remove barriers and enables diverse D/deaf and D/disabled participants to fully engage in standards development.
Why is this important?
Registration is the first point of entry for people interested in becoming involved in standards development. When there are barriers during the registration process people are likely to stop their involvement at that point. The entire registration process needs to be accessible, smooth and easy to follow.
