<br><font size="3"><font face="Calibri"><span>Whereas the mission of ICANN is to ensure universal resolvability between domain names and Internet addresses;</span><br><br><span>Considering the major role played by ICANN in developing public policy management of critical Internet resources;</span><br>
<br><span>Whereas the principles of cultural and linguistic diversity are values recognized by ICANN;</span><br><br><span>Whereas ICANN is committed to developing participation in its midst, and all its constituencies;</span><br>
<br><span>Taking into account the concern of ICANN to ensure that the definition of its objectives is shared by all communities and therefore accommodate the concerns and comments of the latter.</span><br><br><span>Noting with appreciation the efforts undertaken by ICANN and other international organisations such as the United Nations Development Programme and the International Organisation of La Francophonie to encourage participation and involvement of all stakeholders, including governments of developing countries;</span><br>
<br><span>Noting that work within the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) is held exclusively in English;</span><br><span>Noting that seven francophone African countries (Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin, Congo - Brazzaville, Morocco, Tunisia and the Democratic Republic of Congo) participated in the GAC meeting in Cartagena, and their contribution to the work would have been greater if they did not face the language barrier</span><br>
<br><span>Would like therefore, to increase the number of GAC members and strengthen their participation in the formulations of opinion of this committee to the board of ICANN, in particular so that these opinions take more into account the sensitivities and realities of developing countries as well as the variety of cultural and linguistic backgrounds in the world;</span><br>
<br><span>We believe it is highly desirable that ICANN, through the GAC, make available the means of simultaneous translation for effective, active and fruitful participation of all players, no matter their language.</span><br>
<br><span>We would be grateful if, in the daily operation of the GAC and its future meetings, arrangements are made to ensure ideally a translation of documents and debates in the six official United Nations</span><br><span>At first, translation in one or two of the most requested languages would be real progress.</span><br>
