Should Bologna be granted the status of Creative City for Music, a Steering Committee has been created for the development of the network-related activities. It is composed of 30 members and it includes representatives of all music sectors, from public institutions to private enterprises, from associations and foundations to educational institutes.
The Steering Committee, having been put together during the drawing up of this dossier, has already proved to be able to function also as a management body, representative of all sectors and thus able to add value to the network by guaranteeing the consistent involvement of all the local stakeholders.
While some members have already provided a strong contribution to the development of this dossier, others have expressed their interest to participate in future activities. All members have agreed to meet periodically in order to develop common initiatives and to make best use of Bologna’s title. The Steering Committee’s sessions and activities will be coordinated by the representatives of the local administration and supervised by the Mayor’s staff.

Your browser is not W3C standards compliant.
Not only does this mean allowing the web to be used by people with disabilities,
but also allowing web pages to be understood by people using browsers other than
the usual ones - including voice browsers that read web pages aloud to people
with sight impairments, Braille browsers that translate text into Braille, hand-held
browsers with very little monitor space, teletext displays, and other unusual
output devices. As the variety of web access methods increases, adjusting or
duplicating websites to satisfy all needs will become increasingly difficult
(indeed, some say it’s impossible even today). Following standards is a
major step towards solving this problem. Making your sites standards-compliant
will help ensure not only that traditional browsers, old and new, will all be
able to present sites properly, but also that they will work with unusual browsers
and media.
Some consequences of ignoring standards are obvious: the most basic
consequence is that you will restrict access to your site. How much business
sense does it make to limit your audience to only a fraction of those who wish
be a part of it? For a business site, denying access to even small portions of
a target audience can make a big difference to your profit margin. For an educational
site, it makes sense to allow access not only to affluent, able-bodied school-children
with graphical browsers, but also to children in regions with poorly-developed
infrastructure who are best served by text-only browsing, or disabled students
using specialized browsers.
