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.<br><br>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<br><br>Best,<br>Judith<br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre>_________________________________________________________________________<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Judith Hellerstein, Founder & CEO<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Hellerstein & Associates<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>3001 Veazey Terrace NW, Washington DC 20008<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Phone: (202) 362-5139 Skype ID: judithhellerstein<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>E-mail: <a href="mailto:Judith@jhellerstein.com">Judith@jhellerstein.com</a> Website: <a href="http://www.jhellerstein.com">www.jhellerstein.com</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Linked In: <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/jhellerstein/">www.linkedin.com/in/jhellerstein/</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre>Opening Telecom & Technology Opportunities Worldwide<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><div><p class=MsoNormal>On 5/6/2015 6:49 PM, Michael Burks wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Joly,<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you!
