The Daisy Consortium embraces the principles of collaboration and transparency that define open standards development. With its member organizations literally spanning the globe, the DAISY Consortium is able to build project teams of talented administrators, software architects, and implementers that are representative of the global population served by the DAISY multimedia standard. Collaborative efforts result in accessible standards and systems that reflect the needs of persons with disabilities, while providing the richest reading experience for the whole population.
