Re: [wg-review] [process] Bounced Messages and language issues

[Pilar Luque <pluque@nic.es>]

Cher oliver,

When I started the discussion my aim was not to convince everybody to
bouilt a Multilingual ICANN in a day.  I just trying to make people
aware of the problem so that we can  slowly work towards the same system
as in the U.N. and i think it can be reached with support, specially
from people like you, directly affected as English is not your mother
tongue, because we non-English mother tongue speakers cannot read,
understand and respond to documents published in English with the same
speed than an English mother tongue speaker.  Therefore we will always
be misrepresented.

Sinceres Salutations,

Pilar
