FG AVA Vision
December 2012.
FG AVA has successfully completed its work.
The FG AVA roadmap with accessibility actions provides a solid basis for future work by the ITU and other key constituents.
The roadmap gives concrete examples of good practice.
It shows how the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD) can be applied to the delivery, use and enjoyment of digital AV media.
Persons with disabilities and their organizations feel that the Focus Group has made a difference.

Evidence-based (the rationale for our work should be explicit and supported by empirical studies)
Open (actions recommended by the Focus Group should promote interoperability and be based on open standards)
Transparent (the rationale for actions recommended by the Focus Group should be transparent)
