While they did not give us everything we asked for. We had requested a one year pilot with a review after 6 months. Instead the board approved a 6 month pilot with a review after 3 months to determine viability. The goal will be at least three calls/meetings per month to determine viability.

It is great that ICANN has recognized the value of captioning technology during meeting support efforts. I will be working with Heidi Ulrich and other staff to figure out how to structure the pilot. Those who are interested in working on creating the pilot, please feel free to email me.
