<p>Global Survey on Multilingualism in ICANN's Work Now
Online</p>
<p> 20 May 2008</p>
<p> ICANN today enabled an online survey, available in 11
languages including English, to facilitate understanding of the way in which
the community uses existing materials prepared in multiple languages. It will
also help ICANN understand how it could enhance multilingual access to the work
of the organisation.</p>
<p>This survey is also a key input into the public
consultation process for the ICANN draft Translation Programme. The mission of
the programme is to provide those who are not fluent English speakers with an
equal level of access to influence and participate in the work of ICANN as
those who are fluent in English.</p>
<p>You may find more information about the Translation
Programme at:</p>

<p>Note that the results available at the URL above only
present the non-narrative answers of the survey. It is not presently possible
to show summarized statistical results and at the same time include individual
narrative responses in a way that is meaningful. The text answers will be
compiled into the report prepared at the completion of the survey.</p>
<p>The survey will remain open until 20 June 2008.</p>
