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.</span></font></span></div><div><br></div><div><b>Proposed New Paragraph:</b></div><div><br></div><div><font color="#0433ff"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;font-weight:700;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">6.2 Language:</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"> 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.
