Hi Dev and All, Thanks for noticing that the transcripts to At-Large calls are being posted much more quickly than in the past. Our goal is to have transcripts posted within 48 hours of each At-Large community call. The main reason for this goal is to ensure that At-Large community members have the ability to review calls as soon as possible. A secondary reason is to require fewer At-Large support staff to be on At-Large calls so that they can spend more time supporting the At-Large community in other ways. The aim is to have a maximum of two At-Large support staff be on each call. In addition to call management and responding to questions, At-Large staff will only be noting Action Items rather than taking Summary Minutes. Kind regards, Heidi Heidi Ullrich Director for At-Large Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Telephone: + 1 (310) 578 - 8647 Fax: +1 (310) 823 - 8649 Cell/Mobile: +1 (310) 437 - 3956 -----Original Message----- From: lac-discuss-en-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:lac-discuss-en-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] On Behalf Of Dev Anand Teelucksingh Sent: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 7:22 AM To: alac@atlarge-lists.icann.org Cc: LACRALO discussion list Subject: [lac-discuss-en] A Huge *Thank You* to everyone involved in getting transcripts of At-Large WG Meetings posted 4 days after the Meetings Dear All, I am absolutely *DELIGHTED*. I checked the meeting page for the ESADT conference call on Thursday January 10 2013 at https://community.icann.org/x/I4RZAg and saw that the transcript for this meeting was uploaded by At-Large Staff on Monday January 14 2013 at https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/ESADT+Transcript+2013-01-10 Similarly, the LACRALO Translation WG call on Thursday January 10 2013 (https://community.icann.org/x/lINZAg) also has the transcripts of this meeting posted in English AND Spanish. A mere 4 calendar days after the call! Kudos, Kudos, Kudos, Kudos, Kudos to At-Large Staff, ICANN Language Services and to anyone else involved for getting transcripts done in such a timely manner. All too often, many transcripts of At-Large WG conference calls were being posted months after the call. As I noted in my comments in 2012 (http://forum.icann.org/lists/language-services-policy/msg00004.html) on the (then) Draft Language Services Policy: "The ability of Language Services to provide transcripts of WG meetings in a timely manner (within a few days) before the next WG meeting (typically once a week or once every two weeks or once a month) is crucial to allow for discussion of the issues pertinent to the WG by WG members and observers to impact the discussions at the next WG meeting." I hope that the timely posting of transcripts of At-Large meetings continues.
