Language Services // Multilingualism Recommendations 19 & 21
by Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond Sept. 20, 2013

Sept. 20, 2013

Dear all, following on this morning's discussion about Language Services, please be so kind to consider the following suggested text for recommendations, in addition to the recommendations which have already been suggested. -- begin text --- Whilst it is recognised that there has been a significant improvement in the Language Services Department, the Translation Services component should evolve to be able to sustain a significant increase in activity. This shift from a craft-based ad-hoc supply/demand to a continuous industrial pipeline of documents involves: * the ability to accurately predict the time to translate a document at any time around the year, based on the knowledge of historical periodic activity (past ICANN meeting cycles, peak periods, holidays etc.); * the ability to predict peaks of activity pro-actively and dynamically modulating capacity to supplement permanent staff using a pool of additional freelance translators on demand to smooth out peak delays; * the ability for clients (SO/ACs etc.) to automatically track the status of their translation request (use of a CRM system) * the ability to automatically compile metrics on document translation timeliness * the implementation of a feedback path from the community to improve Language Services with native speaker input * the implementation of best practice documentation to harmonize translation quality and accuracy between experienced permanent and new or freelance translators * benchmarking of procedures with similar international organisations, the most significant being the United Nations Language and Interpretation Services --- end text --- Kind regards, Olivier

Re: [atrt2] Fwd: [GAC] .vin and .wine leter from Linda Corugedo Steneberg to Heather Dryden
by Fiona Alexander Sept. 20, 2013

Hi Carlos Just so folks have a more fulsome picture, the United States doesn't share the same views as the EC in terms of the process concerns re the disposition of these two strings by the GAC. While of course we agree there is great potential to improve how the GAC works internally and with the rest of the ICANN community one the major items, at least in my opinion, the GAC is now struggling with is what to do if there is no consensus. As one of many actors within the ICANN model, it's GAC consensus that ends up having a meaningful impact. If the GAC can't come to consensus the rest of the community can't be held hostage indefinitely and that lack of consensus has to be communicated. The trend of always wanting to "blame" the messenger, the GAC chair, is more than troubling in my opinion. In this case, the issue at hand, geographic indicators, has been the subject of someone unsuccessful intergovernmental negotiation for many years so I'm unclear how the DNS is supposed to fix that problem. Perhaps all of this is a little to in the weeds of GAC internal discussions to discuss more fully on the ATRT2 list, but I thought some context might be useful for the others.

The dysfunctions of the GAC decision making process are conspicuous even for the broader ICANN community, and have caused the ATRT 2 to focus its deliberations, among other issues, on the GAC effectiveness and interaction with the Board. Much of Governments´ confidence on the ICANN model depends on how at ease they feel at the GAC and how effective they regard their advice is. The recent events show that there are plenty of things to change and improve in the GAC and as the review does not allow further delays, we urge the GAC to allocate substantial time in the months ahead, including at Buenos Aires, to look inwards and reform its working methods thoroughly. Spain is devoted to this aim through its role as leaders of the working group on working methods. I encourage members to actively participate in this forum, that starting from simple and easy improvements can climb to more ambitious and difficult objectives.

Sept. 19, 2013

Dear all, Larisa and I sat for a few minutes to assess the completion of the Templates for Work Stream 1. Please be so kind to find the MS Excel document attached containing a colour coding for WS1 as follows: Green = Template complete or needing a final brush-up Amber = Template still needs several sections to be filled. These are listed in the box Red = Template is missing and/or needs to be drafted Summarizing: - 29 ATRT1 recommendations assessed - 8 Red - 2 of these are pending the consultant's work. 1 is directly related to Metrics. - 11 Amber - needing attention. 5 of them relate to multi-lingualism - 10 Green - some of which have 1 or 2 sections that are still very light or need input May I ask Template owners to please review the document & let us know if our assessment is correct? Many thanks, Olivier
