TTF proposal to ICANN for FY17 - Fixing the bugs in ICANN’s machine translation tool used for the LACRALO mailing lists
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh March 24, 2016

March 24, 2016

Dear All, Today is the deadline for budget proposals to be submitted to the At-Large Finance and Budget Subcommittee (FBSC). One longstanding technology issue is the machine translation used on the LACRALO mailing list. This has been documented extensively by the TTF at https://community.icann.org/display/LACRALO/discussion-of-LACRALO-mailing-l… Currently, the key issue is that ICANN doesn't have any dedicated persons to fix this software tool. There is only one person from ICANN IT staff who attempts to work on a new version of the translation tool in his spare time, outside of ICANN hours. As this ICANN IT person is very busy at ICANN and his volunteer efforts are appreciated, he has little to no spare time to work on fixing the outstanding bugs in the software. It is clear that a person is critically needed at ICANN with a mandate to fixing this software. Hence this budget request is for funding to be made available to ICANN IT staff for ICANN to hire a programmer to work on ICANN’s new machine translation tool and fix the remaining bugs so that the new software tool can be installed and ease the communication difficulties faced by LACRALO, the At-Large Community and ICANN Staff over the past 6 years. Although this proposal was submitted to LACRALO earlier in the week, it appears that LACRALO will not be considering any proposals for submission. Hence, the TTF will be submitting the attached proposal to the FBSC for their review. Kind Regards, Dev Anand Teelucksingh, TTF chair

REMINDER submit your requests for FY 16 At-Large Captioning Pilot Project- Captioning calls for April
by ICANN At-Large Staff March 22, 2016

March 22, 2016

Dear All, On behalf of Judith Hellerstein, At-Large Captioning Pilot Project group lead and NARALO's Secretary, this is a reminder to submit your request for captioning facilities for calls to be held in April 2016. 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 - first week June 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<mailto:staff@atlarge.icann.org>> by March 30th . * 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!

Interesting stuff

March 7, 2016

Hello all Thought I should share this Interesting times we live in😀 > Connecting your smartphone to the web with just a lamp -- that is the > promise of Li-Fi, featuring Internet access 100 times faster than Wi-Fi with > revolutionary wireless technology. > French start-up Oledcomm demonstrated the technology at the Mobile World > Congress, the world's biggest mobile fair, in Barcelona. As soon as a > smartphone was placed under an office lamp, it started playing a video. > The big advantage of Li-Fi, short for "light fidelity", is its lightning > speed. > Laboratory tests have shown theoretical speeds of over 200 Gbps -- fast > enough to "download the equivalent of 23 DVDs in one second", the founder > and head of Oledcomm, Suat Topsu, told AFP. > "Li-Fi allows speeds that are 100 times faster than Wi-Fi" which uses radio > waves to transmit data, he added. > > The technology uses the frequencies generated by LED bulbs -- which flicker > on and off imperceptibly thousands of times a second -- to beam information > through the air, leading it to be dubbed the "digital equivalent of Morse > Code". > It started making its way out of laboratories in 2015 to be tested in > everyday settings in France, a Li-Fi pioneer, such as a museums and shopping > malls. It has also seen test runs in Belgium, Estonia and India. > Dutch medical equipment and lighting group Philips is reportedly interested > in the technology and Apple may integrate it in its next smartphone, the > iPhone7, due out at the end of the year, according to tech media. > With analysts predicting the number of objects that are connected to the > Internet soaring to 50 million by 2020 and the spectrum for radio waves used > by Wi-Fi in short supply, Li-Fi offers a viable alternative, according to > its promoters.
