FG AVA

Focus Group on Audiovisual Media Accessibility (FG AVA)

(In operation since 2011-05)

ITU-T Focus Group on Audiovisual Media Accessibility (FG AVA) was proposed by ITU-T Study Group 16 for creation in-between TSAG meetings.  The Terms of Reference of the Focus Group are available here.

The main objective of this Focus Group is to address the need to make audiovisual media accessible for persons with disabilities. The Focus Group encourages participation of all standards development organizations (SDOs) working in this area. The Focus Group will encourage: 
  • people to become involved in the accessibility work of ITU.
  • the participation of persons with disabilities.
  • the participation of universities.
  • the participation of company accessibility departments 

 ITU-T SG16 is the parent group of this Focus Group.
