ANNOUCEMENT - FY 16 At-Large Captioning Pilot Project to start in JAN 2016!
by ICANN At-Large Staff Jan. 5, 2016

Jan. 5, 2016

Dear All, On behalf of Judith Hellerstein, At-Large Captioning Pilot Project group lead and NARALO's Secretary, we are pleased to announce that the FY 16 At-Large Captioning Pilot Project<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+FY16+Special+Budget+Re…> will start in January 2016. The captioning will be provided by "Caption First Incorporated". As agreed to by the At-Large Captioning Pilot Project group, the implementation of this project will be structured as follows: * Three calls to include captioning each month for a total of 9 teleconferences, not exceeding 60 minutes per call (with the exception of the ALAC Monthly Meeting) * The calls shall be held between January - April 2016. * During the first pilot phase of this captioning project the language used will be English. * In order to select the calls the captioning team has developed a set of criteria to evaluate and rate the requests. The request for captioning must meet at least one of these criteria to be put on the list. Criteria for Captioning: 1) Are there persons with disabilities or with limited bandwidth participating? 2) Are there webinars of general interest to the ICANN community that would increase the engagement of non-native English speakers? 3) Are the meetings or discussions about accessible tools or software? If you would like to have a teleconference captioned during this pilot phase please submit your request to At-Large Staff<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org> by January 15th. * The At-Large Captioning Pilot Project group, in collaboration with At-Large Staff, will select the calls that will have captioning based on the criteria noted above. * A short poll will be made at the end of each call where captioning is used to ask for feedback on the captioning program during that call. See further details Wiki: At-Large Captioning Pilot Project<https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+Captioning+Pilot+Proje…>. Thank you for your support in the planning and implementation of this exciting project. Kind regards Judith Hellerstein At-Large Captioning Pilot Project group lead and NARALO Secretary Thank you!

BBC introduces new automatic virtual voiceover translations
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Dec. 21, 2015

Dec. 21, 2015

"The BBC is piloting innovative new ‘virtual voice-over’ technology, which could change the face and voice of its international broadcasting. The new production tool will produce voice-overs and subtitles in multiple different languages for short video news packages online, using automatic translation and synthetic voice technology..... The tool, built by BBC News Labs, amalgamates existing technologies and allows a single editor to generate multi-lingual voiceovers on top of an existing video package and script. The script is translated automatically, edited by a journalist, and converted into a computer-generated voiceover. As the project develops automatic subtitles will be added. The pilot will be available in Russian and Japanese. It will allow audiences for those services access to many more video news packages, while the BBC hones the technology. The initial pilot will run until April 2016."

Feedback on New At Large website
by Beran Dondeh Dec. 11, 2015

Dec. 11, 2015

Dear Ariel, I just wanted to give some feedback regarding the new at large website. I have noticed that the afralo leadership have their names as links but for each person the link takes you somewhere different. For example, Barrack Otieno’s link takes you to his linkedin profile page. Aziz Hilali takes you to his ICANNWiki page and Tijani takes you to an ICANN page. I believe this should be uniform. perhaps all officers should fill out an ICANN wiki profile and have this link shared. or perhaps this should be linked to their Confluence Profile. These are just some thoughts. I think what would also help at a glance is the have next to their names their beginning and ending of their terms. I think this would be very helpful. These are my feedbacks for now and hope they are helpful. Regards Beran

It is an interesting read Mohammad. One thought that comes to mind, however, is if there has been any connection made by security personnel between Internet access and the notorious, terrorist attack on French citizens. Kind regards.
