REMINDER - FY 16 At-Large Captioning Pilot Project- Submit request by Jan 15!
by ICANN At-Large Staff Jan. 15, 2016

Jan. 15, 2016

Dear All, On behalf of Judith Hellerstein, If you would like to have a teleconference captioned during this pilot phase please submit your request to At-Large Staff<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> by January 15th. As agreed to by the At-Large Captioning Pilot Project group, the implementation of this project will be structured as follows: * Three calls to include captioning each month for a total of 9 teleconferences, not exceeding 60 minutes per call (with the exception of the ALAC Monthly Meeting) * The calls shall be held between January - April 2016. * During the first pilot phase of this captioning project the language used will be English. * In order to select the calls the captioning team has developed a set of criteria to evaluate and rate the requests. The request for captioning must meet at least one of these criteria to be put on the list. Criteria for Captioning: 1) Are there persons with disabilities or with limited bandwidth participating? 2) Are there webinars of general interest to the ICANN community that would increase the engagement of non-native English speakers? 3) Are the meetings or discussions about accessible tools or software? * The At-Large Captioning Pilot Project group, in collaboration with At-Large Staff, will select the calls that will have captioning based on the criteria noted above. * A short poll will be made at the end of each call where captioning is used to ask for feedback on the captioning program during that call. See further details Wiki: At-Large Captioning Pilot Project<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Captioning+Pilot+Proje…><https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Captioning+Pilot+Proje…>.
