Recommendation 11 states:
"ICANN must implement a range of services to facilitate access according to various criteria (gender; cultural diversity) and user needs (disabilities, etc…)."
In addition to some questions raised by Glenn and Judith, the Chair of both the Outreach Sub Committee and the Technology Taskforce, (TTF) being two of the other groups tasked with dealing with this recommendation  Dev Anand Teelucksingh asks  "Can you please clarify the "various criteria such as gender or cultural diversity" aspect?" noting "The "user needs" aspect was understood to mean access for the differently-abled or for those that don't have high speed internet or for those with no reliable internet access." as a result of deliberations at a recent TTF Meeting.
