    The next evolution of language services must adopt further extension of live scribing for all meetings and generally extend the current interpretation and translation processes and make
    translation available in a timely manner.

    ICANN could implement in it's online Adobe Connect session an interface to permit instant transcription which has the option of translation into 70 languages. Captions First as an example used in the plenaries have provide those with English as a Second Language, Deaf and hard of hearing members an opportunity to fully understand the proceedings. This tool provides a more effective way to communicate with the community

In communities with very low bandwidth ICANN can incorporate Liquid Feedback http://www.liquidfeedback.org‏ or other tools to enable those individuals access. Also the colloborative tools must be compatible on all platforms for all type of computer users and people with disabilities

    Problem

    ICANN is burdened by a large volume of random pieces of information without integration of the topics, leaving the end user frustrated and ineffective

    Solution

    We suggest the creation of an proactive Open Data system or The Knowledge Management System( KMS) which requires cross community integration of specific tagged topics so that the feeds to the KMS

         29The ALAC should implement an automated system for tracking topics of interest currently being discussed among the various RALOs, and accessible by everyone.ALACTG5

    A tracking system for key topics would help to sort out the specific topics of interest to the end user.

    We suggest......

         31ICANN and the ALAC should investigate the use of simple tools and methods to facilitate participation in public comments, and the use of crowdsourcing.ALAC; ICANN GSE StaffTG5

     

    A common practice of organiztions which deal with a large volume of discussion is the use of Crowdsourcing to help weigh the value and importance of specific topics. The community votes or adds LIKE to a topic which pushes it up the ladder of community interest

         39ICANN should encourage “open data” best practices that foster re-use of the information by any third party.ICANN StaffTG5
