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
