[Ws2-diversity] Diversity call for 12th May

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi Andreea,

Thanks for the question.
I think we don't have a strict deadline for now but we have a goal to
deliver a draft report for plenary in Johannesburg which I understand that
would mean submitting by at least 1 week before (18th June). We have an
agenda item in the call to discuss our plan. I do think we should have more
clarity how we will move forward.
We are counting on the questionnaire to get feedback from SO/AC by 1st
June. based on those assumptions, we can outline our plan and have a
specific date for the deadline.

with regard to the questionnaire, I would like to ask everyone help here to
reach your groups and encourage them to respond. also asking the staff if
we can send a reminder to SO/AC. there are currently several open public
comments.

Best,

Rafik

> *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.*
