[Rafik Dammak]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l2cGcx8nNvYSg_ZMUVnoC2t0VKb4ATQVTXxcxYILrXc/edit.
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
