If the commitment on translations is one where you want ICANN to commit to translating things, then that would go in the MoU - and indeed there is already language in the MoU related to this (which is also the subject of staff comments). -- Regards, Nick Ashton-Hart Director, At-Large ICANN PO Box 32160 London N4 2XY United Kingdom Main Tel: +44 (20) 8800-1011] USA Tel: +1 (202) 657-5460 Fax: +44 (20) 7681-3135 mobile: +44 (7774) 932798 email: nick.ashton-hart@icann.org Win IM: ashtonhart@hotmail.com / AIM/iSight: nashtonhart@mac.com / Skype: nashtonhart Online Bio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashtonhart On 5 Jun 2007, at 17:28, Thompson, Darlene wrote:
Yes, I think that somebody mentioned quite some time ago that there are more Spanish speakers in the US than there are people in Canada… So, it would definitely make sense. If this is something that we can do WITHOUT taking a separate vote on the OP Principles, we should do it. If not, that should be right near the top of the list (along with making things better for individuals) to get changed in our first year of operation.
Or is this something for our MOU? In which case, we DO have time to discuss it as it deserves to be discussed.

This would also be appealing for inclusion of a significant proportion of US population.

Given that Puerto Rico is in NA - should you add Spanish now anyway? There's one ALS from Puerto Rico - ISOC PR. Jacqueline

- Official languages: The USA (as stated by congress) is English, Canada's
official languages (at a federal level) are English and French
The US has no official language. But English is the de facto national language.
In the discussions I've heard, we agreed that if ICANN reorganized the regions to put Mexico into NA, we would add Spanish as a working langauge.
