Hi Farzaneh

Thanks for this info.
I also asked on the MAG list about this and I guess we may hear more next
meeting.

For what is worth you can ask those willing to volunteer to help w/
language barriers on specific topics. For IGC, I'll help w/ RP in
PT-BR/Spanish. Others can also reach out to IGF Resource Persons.

Best,

Renata
