Dear Roeland,

I am not asking for the translation of all the ICANN documents but just
the ones that are published for public comment such as the Staus Quo
(Yokohama) and the last funding model (Los Angeles).  And believe me
after the amount of money that ICANN won from the applications fro new
TLD they could afford if they wanted to organise a basic translating
service.  But this is obviously not their priority.  They are too
"English language" biased  I will carry on asking for it!!

Regards,

Pilar LUQUE (ES-NIC)
