> Good day, colleagues in the IDA CRPD Forum. G3ict is excited to be starting a new work project focusing on the inclusion of persons with disabilities in courtroom proceedings around the world. We believe that with newer technology solutions, like voice, cloud, and artificial intelligence, we have opportunities to broaden and deepen inclusion of persons with disabilities in courtrooms worldwide. As an initial step forward on this topic we have begun exploring globally what is the current situation regarding the use of technology to promote the inclusion of persons with disabilities and what the situation could or should be. How do we see or how can we imagine applying technology to benefit persons with disabilities in courtroom proceedings?
> 
> We are now looking to speak with people who might have expertise or perspective to share on this topic. We would very much appreciate any suggestions for and connections to such experts and leaders. These actors could come from governments, judicial leadership, the technology sector, and organizations of and for persons with disabilities. Also, if you are aware of a judicial system that you believe might be doing a good job using technology to include persons with disabilities or even might be interested in exploring the topic, we would be interested in connecting with them.
