ICANN Board review and approval at May Board meeting

06 May 2022 

Purpose

The objective of this request is to have partial employee(s), knowledgeable in the wiki structure, as well in the communications area, that can arrange the actual structure of the ALAC, At-Large, RALOs information on the ICANN wiki site. Actual information is most times not updated, wrongly linked, or incomplete.

Alignment

In order to fulfill our job as the voice of the end users in the different comments we submit to the ICANN Board, it is of paramount importance to have the information of our Working Groups, RALOs, and even the main page up to date, with accurate information, that can be reviewed easily, not only by our members, but for all the community

Category

There is no particular category where this ABR should fit, but also, it might fill in several of them. Outreach and Research the two most important.

Objectives

Audience

As mentioned above, this will help the entire At-Large community

Outcomes

To have the wiki pages with the correct information, updated and linked properly.

Evaluation

Metrics

The purpose should be to arrange at least one working group or RALO information per month.

Sustainability

At the end of the FY, a template to be used by the actual At-Large staff must be produced, that will allow staff to easily update the information, and create the appropriate links.

Communication Support: 

1/2 FTE for one year.

Assumptions: Knowledge of wiki pages, communiciations, posting information on websites. 

JH: Not a key ICANN strategic aim. 

MH: Need to look at other solutions to implement request.  Possibly allocate staff responsibility for ensuring wiki sites are up to date.

SB: Suggest submitting. At a minimum it will raise the issue on ICANN's agenda.

Real-time Captioning RTT of Zoom Meetings in Spanish and French

Purpose

Captioning/RTT was initially introduced to At-Large as a Pilot programme providing RALO or ALAC monthly meetings, Working Group meetings or webinars over a 6-month period in FY18.  Assuming RTT in English stays in the core, this ABR is only for Spanish and French but if for some reason RTT falls out of the core we would like this ABR to be expanded to Cover English as well.

We hope that the late start of the Spanish and French translations because of problems that Language Services had during the first half of the year will not prevent this ABR from having a second year 

During the current year RTT in English was provided during all policy and operational and finance related calls, AT Large Leadership Calls, as well as during all capacity building webinars that At Large held. but there were calls for it to be expanded to more calls and to be in different languages. Additionally, a selected number of RALO and other working groups used this feature. 

One of the aims of the captioning/RTT program was to introduce a transcription service to enhance understanding by a large percentage of our audio meeting attendees who may have a hearing disability and may not fully comprehend what is being said without being supported by lip-reading or signing, Its other greatest use was to enable those who can hear but the technical language and the complex issues that surround much of the policy work within ICANN, as well as other unfavorable factors have caused many attendees to disengage and not return to our meetings. Over 11% of people responding to our surveys stated that they were a person with disabilities.

RTT has the capacity to create better understanding of what might have been a lot harder to understand without being able to read and reread something in a split second in order to get comprehension. In such a technical environment, there is a strong need for understanding about what At-Large work is all about. While At Large offers Spanish and French interpretation on audio the chat many people are on the zoom for the conference and using their mobile for the language bridge, so it is essential to them to have the captioning on the stream text or on another audio stream to follow along with the call.

Since Participation and engagement is a major objective for At-Large, with our At Large Review Implementation Plan which call for Improvements to effectiveness of member participation and engagement, this RTT pilot in Spanish and French will help At Large meet these coals and help revitalize At-Large and making it more effective and more credible. In particular, there will be a specific effort to outreach to and engage with general members of each ALS moving us more towards encouraging greater participation and leadership as was one of our key goals in the At Large Review implementation plan. It is important that At-Large supports any options that will encourage understanding and engagement. Providing a real-time captioning tool, such as RTT, that will help our participants better engage in our meetings, and better understand the terminology and contexts and thus become better informed about the various policy topics discussed, would greatly help the ALAC to achieve this goal. 

Over 89% of the people from the call calls held in FY’20 stated that they found the RTT to be either very helpful or helpful in increasing their engagement and ability to participate in the topics, increasing their understanding of the topics being discussed.

In this past year, the CPWG experienced a real growth in the number of people participating in policy discussions and in writing and becoming active in writing and commenting on policy documents. While the new format used this year for the Policy discussions and the creation of additional opportunities to get involved with policy and operational discussions played a roll, but it is clear that having RTT in all these sessions also led to this direct increase in engagement and involvement.  As such, it is clear that having RTT in other language could have the same impact and also serve to increase engagement and activity in writing policies and in commenting on ICANN policy statements.

 RTT therefore offers a chance not only for those who may have a hearing disability but also for those whose primary language may not be English but interpretation is not provided for their first language so that captioning enables them to listen and then to read and re-read what has been said, to get a better understanding of what is being said.

Proposed Timeline: 

Recurring activity. Seeking 8 hours of RTT services in Spanish and 8 hours in French each month. The Spanish RTT will be off the Spanish language interpretation that is already provided and the French Translation will be off the French language interpretation in the calls.

Currently, RTT in English has made it to the core budget, but if for some reason it drops out of the core budget of ICANN than we would like this ABR to cover that RTT in English as well.

Request: 

RTT in  ES/FR for 8 hours per month. 

RTT in EN for 12 hours per month if not in core budget.

Note: The new FY23 ABR template should be used. 

JH: Suggest to submit again to accommodate LS and market offerings.

This ABR is focused on Inclusion and accessibility.  It is focused as much on the ICANN ORG staff as well as the participants and others active within the ICANN ecosystem. The suggestion is that ICANN hire a consultant or a firm to work with the different constituencies and ORG staff on how to develop accessible documents.  Over the years ALAC and others have posted public comments calling on the ORG and others to ensure that documents are made accessible but to no avail.  While staff are interested in doing this they are not trained in how to do this and so when they are writing or developing documents and policies they are not aware that these are not accessible to people with disabilities.   An inclusion and accessibility coordinator would be working with all staff within the ORG and outside within the different constituencies explaining to them how this is done.  This person would also review all the ICANN websites and notate which pages have inaccessible images, which videos are not captioned, etc.  This way when documents are published for public comment they are not filled with images or other items that are not accessible.

ICANN should be known as a welcoming place to all but currently it is not and others who want to comment or interact with ICANN have a difficult task. It should not be the work of volunteer groups to point this out or to recruit others to find the holes in the system it is what the leadership should be doing.

In this pilot we are suggesting that the consultant work with ALAC first and then branch out into other constituencies as the needs and the request arise.  I know other constituencies are also interested in working on these same issues and I am sure the need will be great once they see how this person has helped ALAC become more inclusive and accessible.  Diversity, inclusion, and accessibility have been recommendations from Workstream 2 and from the ATRT3 and this ABR will help ICANN meet these recommendations.

Note: The new FY23 ABR template should be used.  [completed ]

MH - support - ICANN should be moving towards making its website more accessible for all participants.

Integrated Interpretation in Zoom Pilot

Purpose

Since 3 ICANN (only virtual) meetings the interpretation in the various supported languages was embedded in ZOOM.

The proposal is to select 18 At-Large virtual calls using only ZOOM during which the interpretation will be accessible within ZOOM.

The calls and the languages (in the list of ICANNs supported languages) will be selected by the 5 Ralo Chairs with the advice of the ALAC Chair and in coordination with At-Large staff supporting the calls and language services Staff supporting the interpretation.

For speakers and participants, it will allow to use one single tool to access one or multiple languages as easy as English in only ZOOM rooms.

Category

• Outreach and Engagement

Objectives

Audience

The target audience is for each selected call all the speakers and participants using other language than English.
At least 1 pilot for each region and 3 global pilots.

Outcomes

Easier access to interpretation by using only a single tool to participate to the selected meetings.

Evaluation

Metrics

Number of:

• participants using non-English languages
  • Listening
  • Speaking
• speakers using non-English languages

Cost

Sustainability

It is a pilot.

If it show an increase participation (and intervention) by non-English speakers, ICANN must evaluate the cost vs benefit and include this solution in the possibility to organize multilingual calls and have the specific cost included in the yearly budget.

Move to ALAC section [ completed ]

MH- support - anything that makes it easier for participants to actively engage in meetings. The technology should be enabling rather than making it so difficult for them to participate

Diversity in ICANN Leadership Bodies (Part 2)

EURALO - Diversity Pt 2 ABR

Purpose

Diversity in ICANN Leadership bodies (Part I) was supported as an ABR in FY22. It is a follow-up.

As we are late in Part I, a part II will be very useful.

The description in the document link above is still accurate.

The diversity includes a broad range of data. To enhance diversity, we need to be able to collect those data.

It will be useful to gather the data both from an historical point of view and from a current and future situation.

All the ICANN leadership bodies can be concerned but the first one to be discuss (as a large part the data are already collected and in the last mile to be analyzed) can/must be the Board of ICANN.

 But we will take this opportunity to update it and split in 2 parts.

 Part I

 Finalize the collection of the data of all the members, since the creation of ICANN, of the ICANN Board.

Analyze the data collected.

 Part II

The other ICANN leadership bodies will be studied.

Gathering the data in setting up a survey open to all leaders.

Analyze the data collected by SO/AC.

In addition, if the data allows, it will be interesting to do a deep dive to all the people who take leadership position in more than one body.

It will be link with the work that SO/AC will have to undertake regarding continuous improvement proposed by ATRT3 (and supported by ICANN Board)

 During both part workshop can be organized.

Workshops’ themes:

- What is Diversity (based on the WS2 ccwg-ICANN accountability document)?

- What are the data that need to be collected?

- Evolution of diversity in various ICANN leadership groups

- How to enhance diversity in ICANN leadership groups?

- Role of the NomCom to enhance diversity?

 Research/Study

Some way forward to enhance diversity of ICANN body/bodies

Sustainability

Collection of data can be continue each (one, two or three) year to update the study.

Support submitting as an ALAC ABR. 

MH - not sure that this needs a budget. Getting the leaders together should be part of the RALO workplan. No budget mentioned.

SBT: Budget was not requested. Last year it was a staff duty.
It is needed for data experts. Leadership bodies are not just RALO. That all the SO/AC and possibly H and C.

DigitalSENSE Africa E-Waste Dialogue

Description

Purpose

awareness and sensitisation on Internet Waste also known as e-Waste cannot

be overemphasized. An estimated 1.6 billion tonnes of GreenHouse Gas (GHG) emissions per

year is associated with Internet Waste also known as eWaste, refers to energy, water, land,

and other resource use from storing to moving and sharing data including mobile devices.

As at May 2021, Nigeria had 296,646,228 connected lines with some 187,026,517 active and over 145 million active internet data subscriptions across all the Nigerian Mobile Network Operators by technology; these devices are expected to grow into million tonnes of e-waste of mobile devices by end of 2022, according to experts, aside the fairly used imported devices meant for cushioning digital divide.

e-Waste Dialogue by DigitalSENSE Africa aligns with the International Telecommunication Union organized the “Internet Waste Dialogue," in commemoration of the International eWaste Day (IeWD), held annually.

Thus, our objective is to scrutinize the challenges and opportunities of end-of-life of electrical and electronics equipment that enables connectivity, especially on mobile computing devices; bringing together various manufacturing and recycling companies, regulatory agencies as well as service providers to elaborate on waste management challenges and prospects in responsible recycling as data centres, 5G and Internet of Things (IoT) demands soar.

Hence, raising awareness and exchanging knowledge of this complex waste stream will provoke thought and support the transition to a sustainable society and circular economy as we anticipate 5G full implementation.

Issues arising from Electronic Waste have continued to grow in developing countries including

Nigeria. The need to continuously create awareness and sustain same during evolving

dynamics for handling recycling of devices or managing electronic devices becomes imperative.

Hence, this E-Waste Dialogue being organised by DigitalSENSE Africa tagged ‘ITREALMS E-

Waste Dialogue’ is a recurring activity.

Alignment

In 2019, ICANN's carbon footprint was brought to the fore by the President/CEO, Göran Marby, who called for comments for its Operating Initiatives document, which is the one of the initiatives taken by ICANN.org to support its Strategic Plan for FY-2021-2025

For instance, between 2017 and 2018, ICANN.org reportedly generated by air, CO2 emissions totalling 11,037,822 with flights coming in at 28,059,281 miles and 0.39 CO2 lbs per mile.

This underlines efforts at reducing emissions by ICANN.org and which received some commendations from Internet industry players globally, therefore aligning with the objectives of this ITREALMS E-Waste Dialogue by DigitalSENSE Africa.

Category

Outreach and Training

Recall that an estimated 1.6 billion tonnes of GreenHouse Gas (GHG) emissions per year is

associated with Internet Waste also known as eWaste; which refers to energy, water, land, and

other resource use from storing to moving and sharing data including mobile devices.

Objectives

Audience

Issues arising from Electronic Waste have continued to grow in developing countries including Nigeria. The need to continuously create awareness and sustain sensitisation evolving dynamics for handling recycling of devices or managing electronic devices became imperative.

Even from children of school age, across all gender use mobile devices connected to the Internet for data purposes and discarding same when it becomes obsolete or get bad become an uphill tasks in order to ensure disposition appropriately.

So usage of these devices does not have gender barriers, hence this sensitisation and awareness creation to make our future environment safer will not be restricted to any gender.

For now, our focus is Lagos State and its environ; being the commercial hub of Nigeria and home to most mobile network operators in the country among other Value Added Service (VAS) operators as hub for sectoral operators in the Internet industry and precisely the ICT sector.

Of course there will be moments for skills/knowledge sharing by experts to enlighten participants not limited to students, youths, community based organisations among others.

Outcomes

Participants would be more enlightened on how to among others:
*Know more about how to handle their Internet-connected mobile devices end-of-life *Know more how to dispose/discard their Internet-connected mobile devices end-of-life *Become foot soldiers to and on how to reduce the GreenHouse Emissions associated with Internet-waste.

Evaluation

Metrics

An evaluation form will be distributed to participants with regards to the theme to guide in future planning and execution of this project so as to improve on what currently prevails, especially level of sensitisation on Internet cum electronic wastes, the negative effects and positives if any among others.

Sustainability

We shall continue to seek support, sponsorship and collaboration to ensure the light keeps shining on this initiative so as to continue to advocate for standardisation in the reduction of Internet Waste cum Ewaste emissions.

Purpose

The NARALO strategic Outreach and Engagement plan for the fiscal year 2022 was approved by the NARALO membership on 23 July 2021. The plan calls for leveraging the NARALO Social media channels and those of its ALS, as applicable, to reach potential new members outside the ICANN bubble and continue to engage our current membership. The strategic plans' next iteration will consider using the same social media approach. A subscription to a restream broadcasting service is required to execute the strategic plan. This ABR has the purpose of requesting support for such services not currently offered by ICANN.

Alignment

It aligns with the ICANN mission by providing a conduit to outreach people that are not aware of the importance of ensuring the stable and secure operation of the Internet's unique identifier system and the fact that ICANN, as a multistakeholder organization, offers opportunities for people of any background and experiences to participate in its policy development processes and advisory roles.

In the case of engagement, it aligns with ICANN's mission by providing a way to keep current membership active and interested in ICANN's policy development processes and advisory role.

Category
