Subject: [NA-Discuss] Captioning Pilot for AT Large
Michael and others,
I wanted to report the great news that the Special Budget Request that I put
in has been approved and funded by the ICANN Board. This is really great
news!! While they did not give us everything we asked for. We had requested
a one year pilot with a review after 6 months. Instead the board approved a
6 month pilot with a review after 3 months to determine viability. The goal
will be at least three calls/meetings per month to determine viability.
The Pilot will begin October 2015. Also good news is that ICANN has
recognized that this is not just an ALAC need but a core need for all. It is
great that ICANN has recognized the value of captioning technology during
meeting support efforts. I will be working with Heidi Ulrich and other staff
to figure out how to structure the pilot. I hope to have more information
to report during the NARALO Monthly call
Best,
Judith
