Earlier this month, we proposed a language for the diversity element of Physical Disability. The third agenda item was included so that the participants would go over the proposed footnote and reach a consensus. Below, you can find the paragraph:

Usage of the term “physical disability” reflects the approved language from the Final Work Stream 2 Report; however, there is an understanding that the category of “disability” should not be limited to obvious physical challenges. Presuming that individuals otherwise meet the qualification criteria and experience required, lowering barriers to participation is vital and does not entail quotas or preferential treatment.

The fourth agenda item is your input, comments or questions about the tool. We would appreciate if you can work on it and provide some feedback.

As always, if there is anything we can assist you with, please let any of the team members that are copied to the email know.

Best regards,

Alp (on behalf of the ICANN org team supporting the CCG)
