WITH APOLOGIES, IF I LEFT ANYONE OFF WHO VOLUNTEERED TO COMMENT: Dear BC colleagues Thanks for Jimson for kicking off comments, and to Steve for also providing the link to the initial BC comments, which I think are still quite relevant. I worked from Jimson's initial comments, and provided some additional comments. I haven't seen comments from other BC volunteers, but apologize if I missed any such comments. I also include [with thanks to Steve for the reminder] the initial response of the BC, which many of us contributed to, at that time here as a link, and suggest we may want to add it as a background comment: BC response to CCWG-Accountabillity WS2 Questions on Diversity<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcons...> As Steve has noted, we are running late on this submission. My comments added to Jimson's key points do the following: first, endorse and support the recommendations, and then: -note that ICANN will need to be pragmatic about its commitment to translation and interpretation, but may need to do more when translation is about the IANA functions. -noting that the BC does a lot already but that human and financial resources are limitations to making information available in all UN official languages/and beyond. -diversity is also about enabling participation from different sub regions/regions in events that ICANN organizes, or that are related to ICANN, where ICANN is participating All BC member comments are welcomed, of course, and with apologies, as a volunteer to drafting,if you can provide them within the next 24 hours, we will still be late, but we can then send out to all BC members. I suspect we all are just overwhelmed with other work, but special thanks again to Steve and and Jimson.
