As Thailand’s first free-to-air 62 national public broadcaster, Thai PBS has quickly earned a distinctive place in the Thai broadcast industry with its bold and independent news reporting and a wide range of thought-provoking and knowledge-building programs. Thai PBS is noted for its editorial independence, becoming the most trusted broadcaster during Thailand’s most critical times in the past two years. Financed with taxes on tobacco and alcohol amounting to 2 billion baht (US$65 million) annually, Thai PBS is committed to enlightening members of the society with its diverse educational and entertainment programs while strictly abiding by the code of ethics that ensures fair, balanced and impartial news coverage. In countries like Thailand where the systems of checks and balances are still ineffective, public broadcasters have a crucial role to play in protecting public interest. Public broadcasters can play the watchdog role with little or no political or commercial constraints faced by their commercial counterparts. In this respect, Thai PBS shares the universal mission of public broadcasting service in promoting good governance in both the public and private sectors. Thai PBS considers creating an informed citizenry, a key ingredient of democracy, one of its major goals.

Thought Great concept and hope it is done again like this. this would have been a good opportunity for Options for all. groups also to get together. Would have liked more time. More time for Q&A, Observer should be given everything opportunity to give their views; shared fair needs to be better promoted or everything somhow improved Program was inclusive of many groups within more time for discussions blindness community. Would like future WBU Diversity Forum to The plays for awareness raising were very address topics such as mental health, family life, attractive, this programme should be replicated sexuality (LGB in other programmes issues) among blind/partially sighted people. 105 He relied too much on personal experience. It would treat fewer topics and further each The topics I found interesting, but treated very shallow and short time for comments or questions. Issues may be less but more broadly. TOUT ETAIT BIEN ORGANISE sesión del domingo 11 de 09.30 a 10.30 discussion on the issue concerning the teachers towards visually impaired students Education of the visually impaired people Critical appreciation of how we present our handicap time for discussing the the different topics presented Delve into other subject areas of visual impairment Have the CD on the specific case and evidence of wide circulation. The Vocational Training should develop following the economic grow. The Employment The methodology, the program, the topics. It seemed a poor program, without any innovation or the issues or the work methodology It could achieve a better balance in the participation of regional unions making a celección of the most important issues presented in their respective forums. club for parent of blind children The presentations and the role plays interpreters system The approach gave the board from the perspective of gender diversity. WBU General Assembly Comments What your liked Areas for improvement very good and stimulating program flowed effectively opening was too drawn out and left main delegates excluded well planned, smoothly run, technical facilities worked fine and so did the translation facilities To give handouts for presentations While I know there needed to be time set aside for business, it might have been good for those who weren’t voting to attend some discussion sessions. I liked how the presenters were organized Would have liked to receive a list of attendees or in the programme email addresses for the presenters. Would also be great if one could get or up on the website were copies of the papers presented. 106 Great range of topics. Programme documentation was great. Sound system mostly was good. Speakers were mostly informative and I gained a lot of information More time for Q&A Certain person/country seemed to dominate the delegates tables where moved from day to day assembly this created confusion to some. Time keeping good SI for Chinese There was a lot packed in, maybe too much. Delegates need to be more respectful of each more time for discussions other and speakers, there was far too much noise and this was not down to translation alone People (delegates and observers) must pay more The topic related to employment and early attention to the presentations and must not talk intervention with each other while the presenter is talking. There seems to be a lot of politicking that is going on and that is impeding the effectiveness of the Everything WBU and its ability to get anything accomplished. Can this be minimized Overall very good presentations I liked seeing so many people concerned with blindness issues together trying to improve systems Very well organized each day, almost always on time. Good work by language interpreters Quality of Braille materials was poor (both print and translation). Days were too long. The organization of the opening ceremony. Twenty minutes before the opening the hall was filled with no delegates. The people in charge were not capable to handle. Who should be accepted – for instance to the hall and who should be referred to the room for guests and observers. This was unacceptable The organization of tables for delegates with status as Honorary Life Members was complete unorganized. It was difficult to find a responsible person in charge of the organization of the room. Despite several attempts from the people in charge I never experienced a table for seven Honorary Life Members and their guides in the hall. Something must have been missing in the communication between responsible WBU officers and the hotel employees in charge of the organization of the hall concerning seats for the seven Honorary Life Members present at the Assembly. Little time was devoted to sessions of the Assembly's own (business sessions). The distribution of the microphone between people 107 publicly demanding the word The organization of the GA was a kind of strong protocol, the programme has never been changed to any new aspect as it should be more interesting, more motivative, etc The organization of the translation service OK Debates and elections for candidates approaches The organization of elections The classroom discussions The sandwich panels with assembly issues. The panels in which it was possible to treat a topic from different perspectives of the different regions, finding differences and commonalities that allow construction of strategies and actions. (Natural disasters, R2R). The variety of topics prepared and their relationship with the main problems that affect the quality of life for people with visual dicapacida. like is that sometimes the delegates were prevented from expressing themselves and that managers were put on the defensive. I disagree with the ratings of hands, I believe that all should be secret track record, and through electronic ballot box or otherwise the feedback should be nominal, although any of these ways we Insuma longer The placement of placards States for the duration of the Assembly Lack regulates more participation in discussions and establish more democratic moderation that encourage participation and not just get on with the program of the meeting at the scheduled times. I think we need to take more account of issues and needs of developing countries, think about activities that are useful in all contexts and generate tools or lines of action to implement in our regions. I also believe that much work still needed to achieve real democratization and equitable participation of different countries. With the grant format by WBU delegates, which does not allow the country with other delegates attend a grant they can get some other funding, participation is not encouraged nor stimulates local management, making it appear to WBU as an instance distant and demanding for many local organizations. Having in Spanish speaking volunteers The participation of representatives of developing countries in positions of leadership in the UMC 108 Joint Programs Comments What your liked Areas for improvement Many interesting workshops and presentationsi greater engagement is some areas by organizers smaller specialist sessions Good with some blending of the various areas and to get to get acquainted with issues that ICEVI is dealing with. The quality of the speakers The focus laid towards developing countries in EFA Again a good range of topics, something for everyone it would be good that there were some more high level but relevant sessions and some sessions that were more “soft” and some of the more technical nature. Too many competing breakout sessions without repeats. Could not attend all those desired All delegates should be allowed to attend all sessions without discrimination Some of the sessions it was hard to make a choice, so would be good to get papers from those sessions one couldn’t attend. More interested and specific topics than general - Accessible powerpoint presentation (in some presentations, words were too small and poor contrast, very difficult to see) - Provide presentation papers or handouts to the participants (no papers provided) - More strict rules from the beginning: present on time, turn off the cell phones, no talking, pay attention, limited walking in and out during the presentations… It was very noisy and disturbing when people went in and out, talked to each other, talked on the phone during the presentations. It was totally different from the last ICEVI conference when all participants were been on time, pay full attention, listened to the speakers, opened for discussions… Opportunity to meet many people who are working for and working with people with VI, to learn how people are doing, the challenges and strategies used. Topics for group discussions should be more balanced. ICEVI issues seemed to dominate the joint session ICEVI issues seemed to dominate the WBU issues los temas científicos, experiencias, innovaciones educativas, estrategias educativas, la exhibición de materiales y productos vinculados The programme worked well, but day one was too long, noting people had already been in conferences for many days more time for discussions 109 la oportunidad de compartir con más personas con discapacidad visual, ver puntos de vista diferentes, el empoderamiento y protagonismo de las personas con discapacidad visual People (delegates and observers) must pay more attention to the presentations and must not talk with each other while the presentor is talking. Everything The time restraints were problematic. I felt the panels were dominated by WBU members and ICEVI presenters were cut short. This conference was highly dominated by WBU personnel and concerns and minimized ICEVI. A separate conference is necessary in order to keep our identity. overall very good presentations Less time for question-answer. I liked that there was a strand on every panel that focused on kids and teachers No translation in smaller rooms. Presence of a wide range of experts. Subject matter was mostly interesting and diverse. Good choices of workshops the diversity involved in the attainment of a single purpose It was an interesting experience to see that there are issues of common interest ICEVI was new, while the WBU is familier to us but putting them together was a great idea as we get to gain more other attending two different activities in two different areas Opportunities for sharing information and learning from different countries and areas There were too many changes of speakers unannounced Is that any simultaneous translation in all conferences, including parallel. Is that any simultaneous translation in all conferences, including parallel. The topics covered are too political in nature and perhaps should include activities such workshop, more technical. More time for Q&A and discussion Increase the number of sessions with more time for discussion. 2 full days for the joint program apart from closing ceremonies or general assemblies. Missed expositors greater participation from all regions of the UMC. The presentations on the right to read and CRPD That all meetings with simultaneous Spanish translation Presentations of speakers UMA-ICEVI Ensuring interpretation service in all conference rooms The panels on inclusive education The technical nature of the programs The variety of topics covered 110 ICEVI Comments What your liked Efficiency of meetings, sufficient time for regional meetings Achieve the objectives of making the strategy together. Group discussion in specific topics Areas for improvement No opportunity for those in attendance to have a voice. Just had to sit and listen to EXCO reports without imput from audience. A missed opportunity to find out what was on the membership’s minds. Regional meeting needs to improve to have More effective meeting. Suggestion: out of the chair of the region, we should have another person to cooperate for More active discussion. Volunteer service There is no Chinese in the translation service ICEVI General Assembly Less time for question-answer. Stimulating and enriching. Useful day, well prepared Sharing with varied perspectives more time for discussions Closing ceremony of WBU and the ICEVI regional meetings must not be at same time, must be not be scheduled at the same time. Again, WBU concerns were put at the forefront and we barely got acknowledgement-better than previous day though EVERYTING EVERYTING Meeting the people and networking There could be more time discussion and interaction EFA Strategy discussion It was a problem for some activities overlap with UMC ICEVI should be partnered together with the WBU in 2016 because it cuts costs we gain more when they are together The presentations on EFA-VI and higher education program The presentation of the work, instead of the blind and visually impaired person in society without forgetting the interest of reading with new technologies. Developing countries should be assisted more so that they can gain more knowledge Very disorganized the proposed change of authorities Smaller groups for strategy discussions Madam, It is with pleasure that we acknowledge receipt of your letter with the evaluation form UMA-ICEVI we return you completed. After enjoying the work of ICEVI were outraged the day of the election of members of the Regional Committee (Africa). The moderator has imposed the RWANDA as a 111 focal point while in Central Africa is a country in East Africa on the grounds that he was present (Rwanda) to the Constitutive General Assembly of ICEVI. We suggested that Rwanda remains a member of the Committee and Central Africa, which is composed of more than 10 countries, is represented to facilitate the integration of ICEVI and exchanges. A request has been declined by the moderator and forced us to leave the room for not condone stupidity. We believe that it is the Committee ICEVI correct this error in the interest of all. The best memories. Dominique me Ngalamulume president Rate assessment joint event COMMENTS There wasn’t much interaction. Most WBU members left before joint sessions and ICEVI members didn’t, for the most part attend WBU meetings. The joint conference was too long for most professionals to be away from their jobs to attend both…and too expensive to be away for such a long time The two orhanizations have so much in common that holding a joint even makes excellent sense Different interests may lead to many participants did not participated actively and seriously in the conference. Many guides and observers did not keep silence during the presentations. I think it was an excellent idea. Large number of stakeholders and professionals coming together and sharing a common platform was a wonderful idea WBU participants need to be more respectful of each other and speakers It is advisable to have joint meetings as they save time and resources I think the joint assembly events should be devided, because common topics are a few. I think it was an excellent idea. Large number of stakeholders and professionals coming together and sharing a common platform was a wonderful idea Very effective and positive strategy to bring groups together. The both can be joined again in coming event ecellant as we should be unified in our approach and divergent groups may pursue different angles. In this format we not only have strength in numbers by more input. Positiv: Discussing common subjects in parallel sessions is interesting Negativ: Joining together the General Assemblees of ICEVI and WBU makes the whole event too big. 112 The arrangement at the Imperial Queen Park Hotel worked very well. To combine the two events makes the event quite big which course problems for a blind delegate to find colleagues? It interesanate experience. It is good that organizations gain yield and spaces as agreed Fair enough, allowing the enrichment of different topics, and networking to implement joint actions. It is a good initiative to have joint sections so the conference can cover a large area of information and discussion as well as present the coordination and collaboration among different areas ICEVI needs to have more visibility in such events from the preparation to the implementation phases To be able for joining resolution of the issues La realización de eventos conjuntos acerca a las organizaciones de ciegos y a los profesionales que trabajan en la temática de la discapacidad visual, permitiendo mayor conocimiento y oportunidades de articulación. Considero que la celebración conjunta de actividades permite una mejor logística y participación, por lo que debería mantenerse Excelente iniciativa What assessment requires improvement Comments seemed to work very effectively Programme to long It joint efforts are to continue then the program needs to be designed with topics and approaches that address the entire life span in each session and efforts need to be made to encourage socialization between WBU and ICEVI members. As long as one meeting follows the other,they will continue to be separate meetings even if planned to have one follow the other. None that I can name ICEVI should be given more time for the members to present their articles without hurry Choose the topics that are interest of both WBU and ICEVI members. Give notices to the guides and observers of how they should behave when attend the conference. It almost perfect . But there is no Chinese in the translation service. Lunches & tea breaks ( They should be buffet style ) too many parallel sessions going simultaneously. Few sessions had simultaneously translation. In future, few parallel sessions with simultaneous translation to keep the group together The exhibition, timings, should have been increased stretching beyond the closing of the official event every day. There should be a call for papers for ICEVI, not just invitation, this leads to greater participation Must be for Two Days only SI for Chinese La calidadad de las presentaciones y trabajos Scheduling of events Make sure that important events do not clash Giving BOTH associations equal acknowledgement and representation The exhibition, timings, should have been increased stretching beyond the closing of the official event every day. 113 Very well planned The evaluation should show more success and failure concretely that will lead to more improvement. The selection of subjects to be discussed. We should concentrate more on subjects that concern as well the aspects of education as visual impairment, e.g. silent cars or the rights of airline passenger have very little to do with education. A participant list with room numbers at the reception could ease this problem. Should not superimpose different activities of the two organizations Covered are too political in nature and perhaps should include activities such workshop, more technical. Separate the session days from the general assembly sessions. Hold the diversity forum after the WBU general assembly to give the participants of the joint program days the opportunity to participate in it. Training to the teacher, Operation , Monitoring and Planning Lograr una mayor participación de los países miembros. Want future joint event? Comments Not necessarily Not particularly. I honestly didn’t see the benefit. Perhaps it was convenient for the top officials of both organizations but I did not see the benefits for the memberships. I would like the future event to be done in the same manner because it is economical and time saving So much of what impacts on adults impacts on the child, and I think it’s great for parents to see and hear blind people leading. I personally don’t think especially sighted parents get to see too many blind achievers If it is improved. I think both organization should work together. However, if we cannot improve it, I prefer to have ICEVI conference separately. Too big a group to manage. Very taxing for the organizers and volunteers YES Very reasonable It worked perfectly I would rather hold a separate event. Certainly Good to bring two groups together to emphasize points in common and address differences I think the result is positive not only at the time of the meetings but in coordinating the entire match Very useful Should try to avoid concurrency on important activities and ICEVI UMC (as happened on Friday 16 afternoon), as some people would have needed to participate in both activities. Because of the success of the first UMA-ICEVI experience, we are willing to participate in a new experiment.

Additional Comments Comments It is a shame to bring all these folks together and not have resolutions and more discussions on the future directions for ICEVI at general sessions. Felt like a lost opportunity Thanks to all those who worked on the host committee, planning committee and EXCOs of both WBU and ICEVI for a gratifying experience. A very special thanks to all the volunteers who were such wonderful young people. They were well trained and observant and most helpful toward all participants. I have never seen such volunteerism at ICEVI before. Congratulations again, in particular to the Thai host committee. Additional comments or suggestions for future events Information on the Welcome Reception was not on the program and some people almost missed it because they did not know about it. There was a card in the registration materials, but some people did not see it at first. Also, at the gala dinner, the music was much too loud. I had to leave early because I could not stand the nouise. The conference was well organized and successfully managed. Are there ways of how you could talk to the software developers to reduce the prices of the commercial softwares for the bind to buy. The conference was marvelous. Keep it up. Some of these I have already mentioned, but would be great to hold the event over a slightly longer timeframe if it’s to be a joint event. Would like to see as part of the programme visits to blindness specific organizations or service 118 providers. I would like to thank all of you for organize such conference, and thank all volunteers who were very useful and very active to offer their assistance whenever needed Due to packed schedules could not visit the exhibition and when I had the time for the last day the exhibition had already been wound up. I thus missed a very rare opportunity It was not clear enough in information that hotel accommodation was not included in registration fee. Some delegates from developing nations were sure that it was included as they found the registration fee to be high. Lunch box need to be improved to reflect the internation group of participants. Well done to every one involved and a special thanks to all the volunteers !!! Due to packed schedules could not visit the exhibition and when I had the time for the last day the exhibition had already been wound up. I thus missed a very rare opportunity One of receptionist of the hotel yelled at a blind lady from Africa (racial prejudice) because she would like to get some help and it was refused by the receptionist repeatedly and ended with furious reception. It is unacceptable in general and this should be informed by the CEO of Queen’s Park Hotel. This should not be seen any where in the world especially where we will organize WBU GA. Please pay attention to my comments about the organization of the opening ceremony, the seating and Honorary Life Members in the hall and list of participants at the reception. The organization and performance of elections at WBU Assembly worked very well. Big complement to all parts involved. The volunteers service outside and inside the hall, in the hotel reception and in the breakfast restaurant was very efficient. During the planning of my participation in WBU 8. Assembly I often needed to find the exact address of the venue. This information should be stated in a much more accessible position at the website – my secretary has spent a lot of time to find this information to be sent to my travel agent and so on. The delivery system was adequate but the food was monotonous for many days The Events Should Be Held Together So As To Cut Costs. Moving From General Assembly To Another Consumes Time. This Was The Best. All Assemblies Under One Roof The Events Should Be Held At The Same Venue In Order To Cut Costs, And We We Gain More Knowledge When All Events Are Together. Afub General Assembly Was Given A Short Time And Everything Was Done In A Rush. Maybe It Should Have Been Given 3 Days, At Least. Please note that in addition to English translations, are made in Spanish and translators are not concentrated only in one room, during simultaneous conferences. Overall I can say that the events were very well organized, I understand that there are situations that are out of hand, but mostly I felt really good. Congratulations to the UMC. And the host country, who always did their best to make us feel at home. Provide time for excursion to see the places of interest of the country hosting the participants In logistics, have a means of communication between the participants as it is very easy to get lost and misunderstandings are common. Include presentations reflecting practical experiences in the implementation of the CRPD 119 We were disappointed by implementation of sub-regional committee of ICEVI that the organizers have imposed RWANDA focal point of Central Africa while it is a country in East Africa. Central Africa consists of more than 10 countries did not support this understanding and we hope that corrects the irregularity which had forced us to leave the room that day. In the exhibitions on typhlotechnology, would be good to provide more information in Spanish and more affordable. 120
