Hello, all,
Here’s just another call for assistance on the virtual DLF Forum-related Inclusivity initiatives we have going. Right now we have about 4 people per subgroup, and if you have the capacity I’d love to see a
few more volunteers in each to make the workload lighter for all.
You can peruse our needs and timelines here:

If you’re able to help, just add your name in a comment and/or email me at
[log in to unmask].
I’ll start reaching out to groups early next week with next steps.
As always, we’re grateful for you. Please let me know if you have any questions.
All best,
Aliya

Subject: Help Needed: Inclusivity Efforts at the Virtual DLF Forum
Hello all,
I hope you’re all doing well. I’m writing because CLIR/DLF is looking for some help on inclusivity efforts at this year’s virtual DLF Forum and affiliated events.
There are
four major needs that we’ve identified for the run-up to the this year’s events in November that need some volunteers.
1. Revising/updating the Creating Accessible Presentations webinar from 2017
2. Reviewing the Code of Conduct for a virtual event
3. Inclusivity resources for setting expectations for virtual events (this is the most nebulous and still developing of needs right now).
4. Platform / tech advisory group
The full needs list with descriptions of each item and timelines are available as a Google Doc here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RiG_ZLZz3u-Ygd-j6tkDYlpAnaLA5El2m09_CjXETU8/edit?usp=sharing.
Add your name to the area/need you are able to devote time to and/or email
[log in to unmask] so we can add you to our list. We've got a lot of people with a lot of talent, so let's work together to make this Virtual DLF Forum happen.
Responses appreciated by Monday, August 31 if possible.
Thanks,
Aliya
(Many thanks to D. Krahmer for helping to put this email + ask together.)
