Glenn McKnight:Hi Ken

Glenn McKnight:Ken, the centre panel is a summary of the meeting in Singapore
Glenn McKnight:You can see the original notes in the pics and Silvia did a summary
Ken Hansen (HelpThemHear.org):Thanks Glenn!
Gunela Astbrink:HI Ken
Glenn McKnight:The idea of a DISABLE Showcase is very interesting if we can showcase some ideas to show in Singapore for February
Ken Hansen (HelpThemHear.org):Hi Gunela!
Silvia Vivanco:@ Glenn APRALO is working on the Singapore Showcase at the moment and they have prepared a Program
Silvia Vivanco:with a Showcase included
Glenn McKnight:Many of the ISOC SIGHT locations are doing some interesing stuff for a showcase
Judith Hellerstein:you mean IEEE not ISOC
Glenn McKnight: Yes, we could do something with them
Judith Hellerstein:He seems to have dropped off
Judith Hellerstein:sorry i see him now
Cheryl Langdon-Orr 2:Glenn we have othr focus for the showcase but it does not proclude of course our very active ALSes who are Accessibility focused
Cheryl Langdon-Orr 2:Good point Glenn that is somethong Gunela is focussed upon
Cheryl Langdon-Orr 2:Glenn should read KEN sorry boys...
Joe Catapano:Hi all, apologies for no audio as I'm home with a sick son today. I did submit some thoughts directly to the matrix on the wiki earlier last week...
Alan Greenberg:I was going to comment that if people have the capacity, it would not hurt to work with registries and registrars in parallel, but on reconsideration, we really need to have the ICANN site more accessible before we ask out contracted parties to do it as well.
Joe Catapano:I think the “Survey, Feedback, Discussion” portion of under “Tangible/Tactics” in the SMART table is key. Having a good set of data points from the DNS industry as to what solutions they might be looking for in this area can really help inform and guide the discussions of the group and maximize outputs.
Joe Catapano:On the SWOT analysis, I think the “(Policy Development) in ICANN” can be a Strength as well as an Opportunity. The bringing together of multiple views is baked into the ICANN processes and having this diversity of ideas in on the ground floor can be a major positive.
Joe Catapano:“Stock take Domain Name Industry” seems more like an Opportunity than a Weakness in retrospect.
Judith Hellerstein:Captioning is not a problem.
Judith Hellerstein:We tested the pod and it works great!! we just need to have funding
Judith Hellerstein:That is not true for the caption first pod
Judith Hellerstein:@laura that is not true with the caption first pod in adobe connect
Judith Hellerstein:if you have a problem with captioning we can get caption first to address any remaining issues
Judith Hellerstein:Caption first did the captioning at the ITU Plenipot event
Judith Hellerstein:The tech people at caption first can help resolve this
Silvia Vivanco:AI noted
Judith Hellerstein:@laura it worked to disconnect the audio and reconnect it. at least that worked for me
Cheryl Langdon-Orr 2:Judith I think you might need to mute
Glenn McKnight:Also the issue of captioning of videos is an issue and a policy for many
Judith Hellerstein:sorry
Silvia Vivanco:Bienvenido Juan Manuel
Judith Hellerstein:@greg Shatan, I can connect you with Caption first as they have a pod that we tested and really liked
Judith Hellerstein:Sure we can make sure the TTF make sure that things are working well, but we only work with current systems
Laura Bengford:I will follow up on the captioning issue. I don't have an update today.
Silvia Vivanco:Thank you for your follow up Laura
Cheryl Langdon-Orr 2:Thanbks Laura we REALLYT need Captionng as a standard forAC use in ICANN
Cheryl Langdon-Orr 2:sorry typo's
Laura Bengford:Okay, I'll report back on this list
Cheryl Langdon-Orr 2:Thx
Judith Hellerstein:I would be happy to arrange a call with Pat Graves so you can discuss any concerns with her
Judith Hellerstein:She is with captions first
Cheryl Langdon-Orr 2: Indeed they do which is why they should be motivated to fix ASAP
Juan Manuel Rojas:thanks silvia
Cheryl Langdon-Orr 2:IF the issue still exists of course
Laura Bengford:Okay
Judith Hellerstein:The issue next issue is funding. costs 130 an hour + 18 an hour for a trnascript
Judith Hellerstein:that is for english
Judith Hellerstein:That is the cost from Caption first
Judith Hellerstein:no this is different
Judith Hellerstein:I have my hand up
Judith Hellerstein:i want to clarify the captioning issues
Cheryl Langdon-Orr 2:Noted Judith
Cheryl Langdon-Orr 2:I will go to you NEXT => ok Greg?
Alan Greenberg:What kind of time-lag can we expect ob captioning, and on captioning folling language interpretation?
Judith Hellerstein:@alan I can answer your question
Alan Greenberg:folling = following
Cheryl Langdon-Orr 2:I will ask Judith and Gklennm to respond to that @Alan Glenn can type
Silvia Vivanco:Gunela please clarify your Action Item
Laura Bengford:The RFP has been a little delayed but should go out by end of year.
Ken Hansen (HelpThemHear.org):Is there someone who manages the ICANN meeting events who knows what they are already doing?
Glenn McKnight:The captioning is immediate
Laura Bengford:Sorry the RFP for assessment of ICANN.org remediation for Accessibility
Silvia Vivanco:what is exactly required
Silvia Vivanco:and who should carry out
Glenn McKnight:yes
Laura Bengford:yes
Cheryl Langdon-Orr 2:Gremlens are abound today indeed...
Glenn McKnight:My adobe typing is also impacted , its not responding most of the time. strange
Glenn McKnight:We need to provide the link to the session for everyone
Cheryl Langdon-Orr 2:Yes it is a service provision into the pod so there is very little delay @Alan ...
Glenn McKnight:Yes, the followup corrections is a extra service and they have a separate charge
Alan Greenberg:I was more worried about cascaded delay if we are using it with interpretaion. Time lag with just interpretation makes interaction difficult. Additional lag will have additional impact.
sylvia leite:good news Judith :)
Gunela Astbrink:@Silvia. suggested AI: That a small sub-group be formed to work with staff to identify current ICANN accessibility activities across the organisation. Staff be requested to stocktake any accessibility actvities in all admin and management areas of ICANN.
Glenn McKnight:It was the Monday 08 September 2014 at 1400 UTC meeting looking for the link
Silvia Vivanco:Thank you Gunela
Gunela Astbrink:Please check above suggested AI wording and discuss
Laura Bengford:So we need to investigate the caption first pod for real time with Adobe Connect. Then we need to deal with languages.
Glenn McKnight:508 isn't applicable to ICANN
Glenn McKnight:Wcag 2.0 as well
Glenn McKnight:Lots of human rights issues coming up and most universities have captioning in all videos as policy
Gunela Astbrink:@Greg. I realise that section 508 isn't directly relevant to ICANN but Adobe will likely have Govt purchasers. Good to hear about other regulatory/legislative actions.
Glenn McKnight:It;s not just legal issues its a multistake holder engagement and human rights issue
Gunela Astbrink:@Greg. We appreciate your excellent input
Laura Bengford:Thanks Greg. We will reach out to Adobe Connect to see what Accessibility features are on their roadmap.
Glenn McKnight:Not surprised on the Adobe statements
Judith Hellerstein:We had a full demonstration already in the tech task force call
Silvia Vivanco:yes please Cheryl, if you would be so kind to specify the Action and who will carry it out
Greg Shatan::-)
Gunela Astbrink:@Laura. When doyou expect the Web Accessibility Advisory Group to commence?
Laura Bengford:@Judith, I'll review the full demo again from the tech task force call. I don't recall roadmap future items?
Judith Hellerstein:@ laura I wrote something about this in the at large summit review
Laura Bengford:@gunela, I'll try to get a communication out first week of December.
Judith Hellerstein:I will send it to you and to greg shatan
Gunela Astbrink:@Larua, thanks
Laura Bengford:@judith, thanks. I will look for the at large summit review notes.
