[gtld-council] FYI - Translations of Documents Under Review in Lisbon Available

[Denise Michel <denise.michel@xxxxxxxxx>]

ICANN's Policy Dept. has translated a number of documents related to its 
ongoing work to help foster wider debate about some of the issues being 
addressed by ICANN's SOs and AC's.  The impetus for the specific 
translations noted below was the strong presence of "user community" 
leaders from all regions at ICANN's Lisbon meeting and their desire to 
be involved in these issue discussions.  All of the documents are 
publicly accessible at 
<https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?lisbon_documents>. 

ICANN's Communication Dept. is developing a comprehesive translations 
plan and process, so translations can eventually be incorporated into 
our standard processes for policy development.  We'lll keep you apprised.
Regards,
Denise
