A new avenue: Policy Network on Meaningful Access (PNMA)
by Mark Datysgeld May 6, 2021

May 6, 2021

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-meaningf… <https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/policy-network-on-meaningf…> Regards, -- Mark W.
