Hi Thank you for sharing this with the group. I'd just make an observation regarding the following questions and results EV1 Captioning was very helpful to 83% EV2 Participants with disabilities 7% EV5 Can we have captioning for all meetings? - Comment This is one of the trickiest things when working with diversity. Most agree that captioning is helpful, however, folks that need captioning due to disabilities aren't on our calls because there is never captioning. So it's a catch 22 dilemma. These results can give the false impression that captioning is not as needed because there aren't participants with disabilities attending. When actually, it is of the uttermost importance, because if we don't have them always, they won't be there and identifying themselves as participants with disabilities. Visibility generates participation. Information generates participation. If one can observe and know that there is captioning, the diversity group can finally reach a large part of the population absent to its debates. I understand captioning is a pilot project and ws2-diversity work is just beginning. But I can't help on comment on a lack of participation existing due to a technology missing. How can we do our job well if we are talking about people who are not on the call? "Nothing about us without us" is the motto and it couldn't fit better anywhere than here.
