>> Dear All,
>>
>> On behalf of Judith Hellerstein, At-Large Captioning Pilot Project group
>> lead and NARALO's Secretary, we are pleased to announce that the FY 16
>> At-Large Captioning Pilot Project<
>> https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+FY16+Special+Budget+Request+for+a+Pilot+program+for+real+time+captioning+of+Adobe+Connect+Workspace>
>> will start in January 2016.
>>
>> The captioning will be provided by "Caption First Incorporated".
>>
>> As agreed to by the At-Large Captioning Pilot Project group, the
>> implementation of this project will be structured as follows:
>>
>>
>>   *   Three calls to include captioning each month for a total of 9
>> teleconferences, not exceeding 60 minutes per call (with the exception of
>> the ALAC Monthly Meeting)
>>   *   The calls shall be held between January - April 2016.
>>   *   During the first pilot phase of this captioning project the language
>> used will be English.
>>   *   In order to select the calls the captioning team has developed a set
>> of criteria to evaluate and rate the requests. The request for captioning
>> must meet at least one of these criteria to be put on the list.
>>
>> Criteria for Captioning:
>>
>> 1) Are there persons with disabilities or with limited bandwidth
>> participating?
>> 2) Are there webinars of general interest to the ICANN community that
>> would increase the engagement of non-native English speakers?
>> 3) Are the meetings or discussions about accessible tools or software?
>>
>> If you would like to have a teleconference captioned during this pilot
>> phase please submit your request to At-Large Staff<mailto:
>> staff at atlarge.icann.org> by January 15th.
>>
>>
>>   *   The At-Large Captioning Pilot Project group, in collaboration with
>> At-Large Staff, will select the calls that will have captioning based on
>> the criteria noted above.
>>
>>   *   A short poll will be made at the end of each call where captioning
>> is used to ask for feedback on the captioning program during that call.
>>
