[UA-discuss] A new avenue: Policy Network on Meaningful Access (PNMA)

[Roberto Gaetano]

Thanks Mark for the info, I have just joined.

I believe that it will be useful to frame UA in the users’ perspective. After all, the ultimate goal is not to achieve technical excellence, but to improve people’s lives.

If at the end of the day there is no improvement in the way people can access the infrastructure, the whole UA effort ends up in being a theoretical exercise.

Cheers,
Roberto

Everyone,

It has been recently announced that the IGF will serve as the platform for a new initiative, the Policy Network on Meaningful Access (PNMA). Its goal is "to make a meaningful contribution to improving people’s lives locally, for ‎strengthening national economies, and more broadly to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals ‎‎(SDGs)".

This seems like a great fit for Universal Acceptance, particularly as it relates to expanding our reach and further consolidating our space at the IGF (following on the success of several Workshops in previous years).

I will be joining their list and invite the community members that have interest on the subject to have a look at their press release to know more and potentially join as well: https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/policy-network-on-meaningful-access-pnma

Regards,
