Also at this early stage only English captioning will be used.  Also transcripts form the current provider will be kept and then reviewed and compared against the transcripts from the captioning provider. If the transcripts from the captioning of the call are found to be adequate than the current transcripts provider will be cancelled and the costs of these transcripts will be placed into the captioning program to fund it and also to expand into other languages depending on the demand.
  • Reports from ICANN53 BA (NARALO Did most of the posting!) some of the specific issues discussed at the NARALO Meeting in BA:
  1. Sub-Regional Meeting Proposed in NYC: The idea is to have mini-regional, informal meetings in locations accessible to a number of members - possibly New York City in September. 
  2. Comparing ATLAS II Objectives with At-Large CWG Work: Are we staying to true to what we pledge as a community in work that follows an ATLAS or other proposal?
  3. Thanks to Eduardo Diaz we have the first ever NARALO Newsletter! Tell us what YOU are doing. 
  4. Recommendations for ICANN's Auction Surplus/High Interest Topic Session: The Chair served on this panel and recommended that use of these funds follow ICANN's mandate and focus on areas where the organization may be failing in the mandate, especially in the areas of improved accessibility for the disabled communities.
  5. Conflict of Interest within the ICANN Structure: Recent research into ICANN's documents show inconsistencies in the organizational structure as presented to the community. It appears that Compliance actually reports to the business division (Global Domains Division) of ICANN rather than to the CEO. This may be a conflict of interest as well as not what we have been told. See this page for details and discussion: Transparency and Accountability in the ICANN Structure
