[technology taskforce] Interpretation of ATLAS II Summit Recommendation 11

[Dev Anand Teelucksingh]

Dear ATLAS2 Thematic Group 2 coordinators,

As chair of the Technology Taskforce (TTF), I am seeking clarification from
the coordinators of the Thematic Group 2 which was responsible for
Recommendation 11 from the ATLAS II Summit Declaration. The TTF, along with
the Accessibility WG has been tasked with overseeing the implementation of
Recommendation 11.

Recommendation 11 states:

"ICANN must implement a range of services to facilitate access according to
various criteria (gender; cultural diversity) and user needs (disabilities,
etc…)."

The TTF discussed this recommendation on its Monday 29 September 2014 call,
and there was some confusion re: the phrase

"ICANN must implement a range of services to facilitate access according to
various criteria (gender; cultural diversity)"

Can you please clarify the "various criteria such as gender or cultural
diversity" aspect?

The "user needs" aspect was understood to mean access for the
differently-abled or for those that don't have high speed internet or for
those with no reliable internet access.


Kind Regards,
Dev Anand Teelucksingh
TTF chair
