Implementation Details 

Having made ICANN realizes the fundamental importance of inclusion and diversity, the At-Large Community has played a key role in accelerating the evolution of ICANN’s Language Services.

At-Large has researched and tested various captioning and translation tools, and this effort has resulted in the successful implementation of live captioning services during its teleconferences in FY16. This service will be extended in FY17. Collaborating with the Language Services team, At-Large is also exemplary in offering a wide array of interpretation options during its teleconferences and publishing translations of policy advice statements. Enjoying the growing demand of its services and the increased resources and budget allocation, the Language Services team have been strengthened in recent years. As a result, there has been a much faster turnaround for its translation and transcription deliverables.

The aforementioned efforts have facilitated the participation for non-English speakers and people with disability and special needs in ICANN activities.

Next Step

At-Large would like to see ICANN’s Language Service team continues growing strengthen and improving the quality and efficiency of its services. Specifically, At-Large will request ICANN to provide captioning services to more teleconferences and face-to-face meetings.
