Judith, This is terrific! Sincerely, Mike Burks 919-882-1884 - Fax 919-349-6661 - Office From: na-discuss-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org [mailto:na-discuss-bounces@atlarge-lists.icann.org] On Behalf Of Judith Hellerstein Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2015 6:54 PM To: NA Discuss Subject: [NA-Discuss] Captioning Pilot for AT Large Michael and others, I wanted to report the great news that the Special Budget Request that I put in has been approved and funded by the ICANN Board. This is really great news!! While they did not give us everything we asked for. We had requested a one year pilot with a review after 6 months. Instead the board approved a 6 month pilot with a review after 3 months to determine viability. The goal will be at least three calls/meetings per month to determine viability. The Pilot will begin October 2015. Also good news is that ICANN has recognized that this is not just an ALAC need but a core need for all. It is great that ICANN has recognized the value of captioning technology during meeting support efforts. I will be working with Heidi Ulrich and other staff to figure out how to structure the pilot. I hope to have more information to report during the NARALO Monthly call Best, Judith _________________________________________________________________________ Judith Hellerstein, Founder & CEO Hellerstein & Associates 3001 Veazey Terrace NW, Washington DC 20008 Phone: (202) 362-5139 Skype ID: judithhellerstein E-mail: Judith@jhellerstein.com Website: www.jhellerstein.com Linked In: www.linkedin.com/in/jhellerstein/ Opening Telecom & Technology Opportunities Worldwide On 5/6/2015 6:49 PM, Michael Burks wrote: Joly, Thank you!
