Request to continue Interpretation service<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Plenary,<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">All, you will remember
that the Diversity sub-group undertook a pilot project of offering
interpretation services on its calls for Spanish and French until the end of June
2017 (end of FY17). After the pilot was complete we agreed to evaluate the
effectiveness of the service if there was a request to continue into FY18.<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Diversity
sub-group has made the request to the Co-Chairs to continue the service until
the end of August 2017 at which point they expect to have their draft
recommendations completed and ready to send to the plenary. If approved by the
plenary these would then go on to public consultation which would imply the
sub-group would be dormant for several months until the end of the public
consultation.<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Given the
interpretation service is not included in the FY18 budget, and represents a
2,000$ expense ( 4 meetings @ an average cost of 500$ per meeting) and that the
next plenary meeting is scheduled for 30 August the Co-Chairs felt it was best
to ask the plenary to weigh in on this request via the list.<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Staff provided the
following report in early July to the Diversity sub-group on the requirements
and usage of interpretation services for the pilot:<span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
