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.

IN PROGRESS

 


Actions: 


    • ATLAS II IT to identify the recommendations that require ongoing efforts (i.e. the recommendations that cannot have the 'completed' status, per se) and single them out in a separate category 

Notes: 



Input from Technology Taskforce: 

Evaluated Caption First which offers an Adobe Connect plugin for live scribing on the Joint Accessibility WG/ Technology Taskforce meeting 2014-09-08. See ATLAS II Recommendation 11 for screenshots and overview.

  • ICANN Language Services provides interpretation for:
    • At-Large F2F meetings in English, Spanish and French
    • English, Spanish, French and Russian for ALAC monthly conference calls.
    • English, Spanish and Portuguese for LACRALO monthly calls
    • English, French for AFRALO calls.
  • For At-Large WGs, interpretation is provided on request from more than 3 persons attending a call.
  • ICANN Language Services transcribes audio recordings of ALAC/At-Large meetings and provides a transcript in less than a week which At-Large staff posts on the meeting's wiki page.

Input from Accessibility: 

  •  
    • There has been serious efforts across ICANN to improve accessibly
    • It is not At-Large's call to complete this recommendation; the completion of this recommendation depends on ICANN Staff's efforts in following this recommendation in improving accessibility  
    • There has been a short-term pilot program for captioning/live transcribing. It is part of the ICANN wide cross community activity (not a CCWG) and has its workspace to provide updates: Cross Community Committee on Accessibility Home. The At-Large Captioning Pilot Project has been working with ICANN IT and language services to implement this pilot program; the completion of this program also largely depends on ICANN Staff's efforts. If this pilot succeeds, captioning and live transcribing shall be provided in ICANN on an ongoing basis. There are many items to be done for this program and the work is far from completion.

    • Some of the ATLAS II recommendations require ongoing efforts (cannot have the 'completed' status, per se) and should be singled out in a separate category
