- [Thomas] So, thank you very much, Richard, and good to hear you and to have the experiences to speak to so many people. So I'm as a speaker here, I'm Thomas Kahlisch from Germany. I'm a Board member of the DAISY Consortium for Germany. And I'm the share of the European inclusive publishing forum, which we have set up last year to yes, to prepare the revolution of the born accessible publishing in Europe, which is a very good news. What is the reason why we became so active onto setup these kinds of project? It's the reason is the European Accessibility Act, which is some kind of law established in Europe. It's a landmark agreement from the European states and European government, and on the topic of accessibility. I have to say, it took us 10 years of campaigning to make this thing become true. And so now we have a minimum set of accessibility requirements, which is defined tool for particular parts of products and services in Europe and all states and Europe has to rectify this act until yeah, this year. And so major importancy is here on the topic for us that all publishers have to be aware of to become more accessible or accessible have to produce accessible E-books and E-reading systems until 2025. And that's why we set up the kind of yeah project. At the Data Consortium we have decided it's in the board meeting last year in November. What's the purpose of this project? So we want to encourage and we want to bring forward collaboration between stakeholders in this arena. So in this particular countries, but especially in the exchange internationally in the European countries and also with other people who are interested other stakeholders from other countries who want to join and work with us together. First thing is this collaboration, the purpose, and the other purpose is to meet the needs of the users to make sure that this what's in the law. Which is have to organise too with the publishers is and the needs of the people with reading disabilities. Yes, we have set up a steering group, and this was in March this year. and the share of this yeah, steering group. And we have make information already available on the DAISY website on this topic. So we have established a mail list where we can use for information exchange. And also you we have set up share a document folder to exchange information, to have general documents, stored to keep us informed together. I want to mention that we have these website inclusive publishing.org/eu. Where we collected all general information about this topic. And we also have links tool, country websites who are already working in this arena to pull this information together and make it accessible and available on the net. To bring this process forward in the steering committee, it became very clear to us that not all states in Europe already have a platform or having set up an activity to bring the European Accessibility Act forwards in the particular area of publishing. And that's why we have organised a communication group, which is often sitting together virtually and making plans to get to reach more people. So we have at the moment we have eight or nine countries who have already projects in this field. And we want to reach all 27 countries in Europe and encourage the people to set up a platform to inform, set up courses, training courses and so on. And to reach all countries in Europe. So we have started a baseline survey and where we ask all countries in Europe, is your government already doing something in this field? Do you have already a platform for the stakeholders? Is there a training course as planned for publishers? And what is maybe needed more, where you need more information on this topic or how we can help, to make this network larger and more effective for us all together? Another issue that we have organised, or another activity that we have organised is that we are pulling together case studies from different countries. Where already activities are in the pipeline already working. These case studies are provided to have to collect information, to expand our knowledge to other people and encourage people to see how other countries going with this activities or preparing activities in this arena and to encourage other people, to set up a platform. And to get to become welcome in our network yes. All these activities we have planned in this year and at the end of the year and first December so we will have a webinar where we inform about the baseline survey and the case studies we have altogether. And want to inform your old people about this topic. And we are ready to further on produce more exchange, to have more exchange next year to establish because there's a lot of work to do. To encourage publishers to go with us together, to make the revolution in the bond accessibility publishing in Europe true. Thank you very much.
