Oct. 6, 2020

https://www.icann.org/news/blog/language-services-at-icann69 As a global organization, ICANN is committed to making our events and content accessible to our global community. I'm pleased to tell you that we will once again offer remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) in the six United Nations languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish) for key ICANN69 sessions. These resources will be available for the ICANN69 Virtual Annual General and related meetings: · The ICANN69 Language Services team is comprised of 34 contracted interpreters along with a team of five in-house Language Expert/Head Interpreters. The entirely remote team will work from eight different countries. · The team is operating during Prep Week in addition to its work during ICANN69's Community Days and Plenary Week. · We will use the RSI platform once again, supporting up to three rooms concurrently. Please see the Participation Guide<https://meetings.icann.org/en/remote-participation> for more details on how to use this tool. · Exact resources for each session are contained in the schedule listing. For your reference: · Zoom A – Prep Week with six UN languages. · Zoom 3 – GAC with seven languages (six UN languages + Portuguese) · Zoom 1 – ALAC/At-Large with three languages (English, French, and Spanish) · Zoom 6 – Plenary room with six UN languages · We have a team of five tech experts supporting the RSI platform. · The RSI platform will be set up in two countries, just as we did during ICANN68, with the primary platform in Australia, and a second exact replica in Singapore as a redundancy precaution. The ICANN Language Services team looks forward to supporting ICANN69. Like many of you, we also look forward to reconnecting and working together in person again soon. Until then, we'll see you online RSI at ICANN69!

Along the way, there have been significant developments that have had a bearing on how the ccNSO operates. We wish to continue the discussion around the Rules of the ccNSO that was begun during ICANN61 in Puerto Rico in March of 2018. You can see the transcript of that initial discussion here<https://static.ptbl.co/static/attachments/172549/1523576381.pdf?1523576381> (page 34 to 49), and you can see the related slides <https://static.ptbl.co/static/attachments/169593/1521034582.pdf?1521034582> as well.

Topic for the meeting with the Board
by Katrina Sataki Oct. 5, 2020

Oct. 5, 2020

Dear Colleagues, This is a friendly reminder that we need to come up with a topic for discussion with the Board during our bilateral meeting. Please note, we do not need to come up with questions - the Board asked us to choose one topic we could discuss half of the time. For the other half, the Board has chosen the following topic: * Enhancing the effectiveness of the Multistakeholder model: key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation, and work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the MSM (such as the ATRT3 report and work on prioritization and budgeting). Please share your suggestions and support for the suggestions shared with the list so that we can determine the winner (topic, I mean). Kind regards, ]{atrina

REMINDER: Your videos/pirctures required!
by Katrina Sataki Oct. 5, 2020

Oct. 5, 2020

Dear Colleagues! So far we have only one brave Councillor! Ajay is the only one who has sent his video. Please (please, please!) do not be too shy! Make a video recording and send it to me or Kim. Now we have instructions from the organisers to make things easier for you: Our Hamburg event is coming up, and in preparation we'd like to ask you to provide us with a short video clip starring... yourself. How Record yourself using you smartphone (video + audio!) You do not have to edit your recording, just send the raw material and we will edit it into the show layout. What (1) Look into the camera, say hi and tell us your name & country you're joining us from (2) Strike a pose (Think "The game is on!" whilst you do it :-) (3) Show us one cool dance move When Please send this recording by Monday 12th. Some tips * Use the highest recording setting on your camera (HD of 4K if possible) * Put the camera in a stable spot, and try to have it at the same height as your eyes (you will look better J) Lighting: * Make sure we can clearly see your face * Do not stand with your back to the window (the background will be too bright) * Do not shine a light directly on your face, there will be too many shadows. Instead, stand facing a window (ideally, with a white curtain to make the light softer), or shine the light on a white wall or ceiling. * If you see a lot of 'grain' or 'noise' in the image, you need more light overall. Audio: * Do not stand too far from your camera * Make a test recording and listen to it. * If there is too much noise, echo, or if you sound as if talking from far away: Use earphones with an inline microphone (the kind you get with the smartphone to make calls with) Image: * Film in horizontal landscape mode if possible * Try to avoid using the front facing camera (only possible if you have somebody to help you with the recording of course) * Do not use the digital zoom of your camera (move the camera to make yourself bigger/smaller, do not use pinch-to-zoom) When you are speaking, look to the camera lens (not to the phone/screen). Take your time, remember to smile, and have fun! Thank you! ]{atrina From: Ccnso-council [mailto:ccnso-council-bounces@icann.org] On Behalf Of Katrina Sataki Sent: Monday, September 28, 2020 6:41 PM To: 'ccnso-council' <ccnso-council(a)icann.org> Subject: [ccnso-council] Your videos/pirctures required! Dear Colleagues, For the ccNSO Cocktail, we need pictures or video (preferred option!) of 10-12 bravest people! Please take a very short video (e.g. saying Hello and wishing great ccNSO Cocktail) and send it to me or Kim by the end of this week! I am not sure I am allowed to disclose what will happen to those videos/pictures (I am not well informed myself, to be honest) but I am sure they will not be uncontrollably posted on FB, Instagram, Tik Tok or any other platform. THANK YOU FOR YOUR BRAVERY! Regards, ]{atrina

While 2020 has proven challenging and likely very different from what we were all expecting when we last saw each other almost a year ago in Montréal, the Board and I keep being impressed and grateful for your continued dedication to ICANN’s mission. The Board still values its dialogue with your groups and is very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 22nd and first ever virtual Annual General Meeting that will take place between 13-22 October 2020. As you keep working on the format for ICANN69, we would like to start preparing for community dialogue with the Board. As per what we did in Montréal and virtually for ICANN67, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We will also publish the list of questions or topics received using this digest as a successful tool for improving transparency and allowing other groups to deepen their own understanding of their peers’ point of view on different issues. As for time allocation, per what we did previously, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board has chosen the following topic to have an open discussion with you: Enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model - key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation, you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation and the work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model, such as the Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) Final Report and work on prioritization and budgeting). We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations, board-ops-team(a)icann.org, your single topic or list of questions, in order of priority, no later than Monday, 5 October 2020 or sooner.
