[governance] Fwd: IGF 2016: Updates for Session Organizers

Fri Sep 23 04:13:51 EDT 2016

Hi

It has been customary in all IGF  that I took part in organizing, that main
session and opening and closing ceremonies would be interpreted but
workshops need to bear the cost of interpretation themselves. Host country
agreement stipulated that.

That is not the case for captioning and I don't see anyone mentioning
captioning won't be provided.

Best

Farzaneh
