HI Glenn and others,
Thank you for the nomination. I accept your nomination for Secretariat.
I have been acting secretariat since December when Garth took a leave
of absence and also have been vice chair. With Evan’s resignation I
will be Acting Secretariat until the elections where I hope to become
Secretariat. I have much experience in this area and would like to
continue to serve NARALO. As Secretariat, I have been advancing
NARALO's positions and outreach both in the technology area and in the
accessibility area where I have been championing the need for captions
not only for those with hearing loss but also for those with limited
bandwidth. Because of my advocacy on this issue and through the work I
and Glenn McKnight have done on the Technology Task Force we have made
staff at ICANN aware of this need and they are working working hard to
meet these goals, first with a new website and also hopefully with
captioning. ALAC approved my submission for a special budget request
to run a pilot program for captioning and I am hoping that this is
approved by the budget committee. I hope to do more of this advocacy
and outreach to different communities if you elect me as Secretariat.
Best,
Judith
