LANGUAGE SERVICES AT ICANN67
|
|
|
Learn More: Language Resources Available at ICANN67
|
ICANN serves a global community, and to facilitate participation, ICANN org tries to make many of our events, meetings, and content accessible in
the six United Nations languages – Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish – as well as other languages when needed. The Virtual Community Forum poses unique challenges to providing real-time interpretation and translation. Despite these challenges,
we are committed to trying to mitigate the impact.
After much consultation with the ICANN67 Community Planning group, including feedback about what they consider to be critical language services support
for the ICANN67 Virtual Community Forum, balanced against the inherent limitations, we are pleased to tell you that we are able to provide language support in English (the main working language of ICANN) as well as live interpretation in Spanish and French. You
can find links to the live interpretation streams, as well as real-time transcription links, in the
schedule
[r20.rs6.net] under the individual session description.

Thank You to Our Cancún Local Host Committee

Before we take part in the ICANN67 Virtual Community Forum, ICANN would like to reiterate our sincere appreciation to our ICANN67 Mexican Local Host
Committee for their tireless work, support, and understanding on the decision to turn ICANN67 into a virtual meeting, as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.
