Diversity call for 12th May
Hi all, We will have our call this Friday 12th May at 13:00UTC. I am sharing here our draft report and encourage you to go through to add any comment https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l2cGcx8nNvYSg_ZMUVnoC2t0VKb4ATQVTXxcxYIL.... the draft report is also shared as an attachment. Julie also proposed some wording copied below, please share your thoughts *Original Paragraph:6.2 Language: All languages should be possible to be represented in ICANN for the organization to position itself as a fully global multi-stakeholder entity. There is a need to improve the balance between the seven official languages at ICANN: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. However, ICANN manages the IANA functions that offer IDN services to entities who do not use any of the seven official languages that ICANN supports, and it is especially important that ICANN improves its communication with this group of stakeholders so that they can be better engaged.Proposed New Paragraph:6.2 Language: In an ideal world, ICANN should accommodate participation by individuals who speak any language for the organization to position itself as a fully global multi-stakeholder entity. In reality, the ability to support participation by individuals who speak the seven official United Nations languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish) should be deemed to be the minimum requirement. Better balance in providing support for some of these languages is desirable. Furthermore, as more IDN TLDs are delegated, it is important for ICANN to support services to entities associated with those languages outside these seven official languages and to improve its communication with this group of stakeholders so that they can be better engaged.* Best, Rafik
