Re: [nc-review] Second draft report of the review TF

[Rosa.Delgado@sita.int]

Philipp,

Excuse my lack of inputs during the discussions but I was not very often at
home in the last few weeks  - so I hope it is not too late.

     4. Language diversity
          translation of documents into a reduced number of languages as a
          short term approach could be foreseen. Translation into the most
          spoken languages in a diversity of countries e.g. UN working
          languages to start with. This short term approach will allow to
          evaluate the feasibility and costs of this project. A long-term
          approach will consist in identify other languages.
          despite that voluntary translation is very much desirable, it
          could add some unreliability to the process - are these voluntary
          translations reliable?  or DNSO risk to mislead people instead if
          the quality of translation is not high. This is a risk that need
          to be taken into consideration.
          could DNSO approach organizations such Francophonie,
          Organizations of American States, etc. to help in the translation
          tasks. I think these organizations have some responsibility in
          this area vis-ą-vis their cultural communities.

   I agree with the rest of the document !

Subject : [nc-review] Second draft report of the review TF
Attachment(s) Removed : Interim report review task force v2.doc



Task force members,
thank you for your feedback on the first draft interim report.  I have done
my best to incorporate non-conflictual amendments in this new  draft.

Could I ask for your approval on this as representing  the majority view of
the task force, so that I can submit it  simultaneously for public comment
to the GA, NC and constituencies?

After that comment period, with your help I will write a  final report for
submission for NC approval.

To keep on track, please let me have your OK on this draft  interim report
by midnight Sunday Oct 7.

Philip.
