True Alberto, Xavier is equally right, every decision has a financial implication and it is within his remit to make us aware of the financial implication of the request since we require resources for a number of activities not limited to translation that we are engaged in as a team.

It would be very convenient to take into account not only the cost of implementation to make the decision.
A very important point is that this is one of the diversities that ICANN must protect and promote.
Of all the diversities, it is one of the most contributes to the active participation. It provides a rich diversity of opinions, significantly expanding the contribution of geographic spectrum, idiosyncracy, social values, and even gender.
It should be considered an investment, not a cost.

Rafik,
We need to understand the cost impact of this request, as one of the elements required to review this request. We will share the costs estimate with the group, so that everyone has the same information. So that we can produce a cost estimate, could you help by providing an estimate of the number of calls, duration and number of participants estimated? Thank you in advance.
To all,
As this is not an expense type that is directly under the budget ownership of the co-chairs, Staff will have to make the decision on this request, but will definitely seek input from the CCWG members and co-chairs, before finalizing, and the discussion scheduled below during the plenary meeting will be very helpful to do so.
Thank you.
Best,
Xavier

Hi,
I am sending here the request for the plenary scheduled in Friday 10th March to have language interpretation service for the ws2 diversity subgroup confcalls from english to spanish and french, and vice versa, by a demand from subgroup members.
Thanks,
Best,
Rafik
