Re: Poll on teleconferences

Hi All,

The proposed time works for me.

By way of introduction my name is Henny Swan and I am User Experience and Design Lead at the Paciello Group [1]. We provide user experience, design, development, audit and consultancy in accessibility for digital products across mobile and desktop platforms. 

Much like my colleague Léonie I am interested in the opportunity and possible barriers WoT’s presents to disabled users. My interest is from the user experience perspective and how we can bring standards and consistency to products in a way that is accessible to all. I come from a broadcaster background (BBC in the UK) where I initially became interested in the WoTs and ways to make TV more accessible beyond traditional TV platforms.

Regards, Henny
