Attached you can find the report from ITU-T Q9/16 "Accessibility to
MultiMedia for people with Disabilities" meeting in Santiago, May 17-28 1999.

Highlights:

In good co-operation with many other Questions, the following was achieved.

-An IP Text Telephone and IP Text Conversation Annex to H.323 was
determined. (H.323 Annex G)

-A document about Sign Language and Lip Reading application of low bit rate
video coding was approved for publication.

-A Text Conversation addition to ISDN video telephony was determined as a
new codepoint for T.140 in H.224.

-The concepts Total Conversation and Text Telephony were introduced in a
draft MultiMedia Conversation Service Specification. Total Conversation is
the combination of Video, Text and Voice in a real time conversation.

-A work item on Text Telephony and Text Conversation through MultiMedia
Gateways was initiated.

-Minor corrections to the text telephone modem Recommendation V.18 was
introduced in an Implementers guide.

-Idéas for next study period ( 2000-2004 ) were documented.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
Next important deadline is short after September 30, when white documents
for decision in February should be entered.

A Q11-14/16 Meeting in Berlin on August 2-6 is a good opportunity to
prepare the Q11-Q14 related documents.
