Ebooks and Audio Recordings
The Finance and Budget for FY16 has asked for submissions for consideration . I have proposed to the committee the idea of converting the myriad of ALAC Training materials into E Books with Audio recording capacity to enable the community to use the resources on their phones and e-readers. This expands the utility of these resources beyond the pdf format, plus it provides more accessibility for the resources. I am posting a request from NARALO on the community interest in supporting this idea Thanks Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn@gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight .
Great idea. Sent from my iPhone

I think that this is a great idea and a good first step for greater accessibility for those in need.

Thanks to all for the vote of confidence.. Here is more details on the idea ICANN has created introductory guidebooks for newcomers/ learners on various aspects of the ICANN Ecospace. These materials are either limited print format or on a non interactive PDF Format This proposal suggests an updating of the materials to become E Book resources for use on mobile, Kindle and other devices. Secondly the material would take advantage of the add on feature of audio reading capability providing audio transcription to the existing materials Key Benefits - Ebooks are searchable. You can easily search for any information in an ebook, instead of turning page after page. - Ebooks can be interactive and contain audio, video and animations, which can enhance the message that the author is trying to convey. - Subscribers to Ebooks get automatic notifications of updates for downloading so the most current versions are always available and distributed - Tracking of downloads and clicks throughs - Free widescale distribution channels to distribute Ebooks ie. Google Play, Archive.org, Itunes, Amazon and more Glenn McKnight mcknight.glenn@gmail.com skype gmcknight twitter gmcknight .

I agree, Glenn. I only purchase physical books if no eBook is available. No place for more books, plus the benefits you mention. In most if you click on a footnote, you go there directly and can return to where you were reading with one click. Another advantage. Cheers, Peter ---- Peter T.

Dear Glenn As a newcomer, I especially welcome your proposal. Navigating ICANN’s Ecospace has been very murky at times and I believe the development of these resources will be beneficial to all of us at Native Public Media and to all newcomers. Loris Taylor Native Public Media
