Second phase - FY17 Special Request - RALO-Real-time Captioning of Adobe Connect Meetings in English, Spanish, and French.
Description
The vision is to “pilot-test” ICANN’s capability to increase the accessibility of Policy development activities by providing real-time captioning service on existing At-Large community meeting calls. The concept is to test a potential new/additional vendor (Caption First) who, it is believed, can provide captioning capability at levels comparable to our current transcript provider in real-time at substantially lower prices. See details of the first phase of the pilot at FY16 Request Captioning Pilot Project
This second phase of the pilot is approved to continue existing pilot for an additional 3 months. (6 conference calls in total). The pilot adds support for Spanish and/or French. The main goal is to provide real-time captioning for either 3 RALO meetings a month or 2 RALO and 1 ALAC meeting, and/or 3 working group meetings or webinars a month to enable full participation of all At-Large Users within ICANN. This will give the pilot (phase 1 and phase 2)15 total calls experience to evaluate resource capabilities.
