Hello Kathy and all, The GNSO PDP Manual encourages translation of WG outcomes as follows: "When posted for Public Comment, Staff should consider translating the executive summaries of the Initial Reports and Draft Final Reports into the six UN languages, to the extent permissible under the ICANN translation policy and the ICANN budget, though the posting of any version in English is not to be delayed while translations are being completed.² I don¹t know off the top of my head how long this will take, although I know that our Languages Service Department has been working to improve the turnaround time for requests, among other areas they have identified as part of an improved framework for making ICANN fully accessible to speakers of various languages: https://www.icann.org/translations. Other recent efforts include the Asia Pacific launch of a Language Localizaton Toolkit that involves collaboration with the various linguistic communities around the region. I hope this is helpful. Thanks and cheers Mary Mary Wong Senior Policy Director Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers (ICANN) Telephone: +1 603 574 4892 Email: mary.wong@icann.org -----Original Message----- From: Kathy Kleiman <kathy@kathykleiman.com> Date: Tuesday, April 28, 2015 at 09:16 To: Mary Wong <mary.wong@icann.org>, "gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg@icann.org" <gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg@icann.org> Subject: Translations question

Hi Mary, I was wondering if you could tell us how long translations of the Interim Report will take - and in what languages ICANN will be able to provide it? Best and tx, Kathy
