It was intended that this<br>> would be explored through a focus group culminating with a meeting in<br>> London at ICANN 50; however, given the time constraints on all staff at<br>> this time, we are postponing the start of this project until after the<br>> London meeting so that ICANN staff and community members have time to<br>> engage fully with this initiative.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> This project working group will now commence work on *July 15th*, with<br>> findings to be shared and discussed at ICANN 51 in Los Angeles.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> This working group will hold regular calls with volunteered staff and<br>> with key community members whom we will be engaging in London. We will<br>> also be highlighting this initiative in London at different sessions<br>> that week.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Thank you to those who have already nominated participants. My team and<br>> I will be reaching out to you all in London to discuss this project<br>> further and connect with community members and staff who would enhance<br>> this work.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> In the meantime, I would appreciate if you could send through any names<br>> of potential participants whom you think would be able to be part of<br>> this extremely important focus group. We require participants who are<br>> familiar with translation services and are able to represent the<br>> linguistic diversity of the community. The volunteers will share their<br>> thoughts and discuss with our Language Experts their views and desired<br>> outcome regarding the best way to approach translation of all the<br>> different materials (e.g. crowd sourcing translation, machine<br>> translation, preferred and third-party vendors).<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Thank you in advance for your assistance with this work; I look forward<br>> to seeing many of you in London.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Best wishes,<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Nora<br></div> </div></body>
