==Formation==
 
The '''Internet Society Accessibility Standing Group''' was formed on November 1 2021, subsequent to ISOC's plan to de-charter existing Special Interest Groups. While the new SIGs are temporary and project-based, both Accessibility and Youth, as Standing Groups, are permanent.
 
 
 
The former '''[https://a11ysig.org Accessibility SIG]''' (A11ySIG) was de-chartered, and '''[https://www.a11ysig.org/back-to-roots/ reverted]''' to its origin as an Internet Society New York Chapter (ISOC-NY) project, in a supporting role to the new Standing Group, as well as other activities.
