31 How to get the best from your interpreters Speak at a reasonable pace, 120 wpm or foresee one written page for a 2 minute intervention. Speed is one the main challenges when communicating. Intepreters listen, process and speak at the same time. In order to convey your message, high sound quality is required. Thus

32 Communicate Provide any speeches, speaking notes, presentations or documents to the interpreters. On the day via the Meeting Service Assistants and also in advance to: Present and communicate. If a native speaker listening live cannot follow, neither can delegates listening through interpretation. Think about being interpreted, allow time for a reaction and for the interpreters to finish with a 4-11 second time lag.

33 Remote participation and Videoconferences Standard Operating Procedure for Arranging Interpretation of Videoconferences Please indicate your intention to schedule a VC well in advance to your organizer. Sound and image tests with interpreters and technical services Not all rooms equipped with necessary technology VC equipment of a minimum quality required if not, risk of failure is high

34 Please Avoid Omnidirectional microphones, as they pick up too much noise Phone or Skype links as sound quality is insufficient Please Remember To always mute your microphone whenever you are not speaking Remote participation should be requested well in advance to ensure: you have a properly equipped room and; a sound check can be conducted with interpreters.

35 Précis-writing at the United Nations

36 Summary records at UNOG What is a summary record? Main clients Official, permanent record of a meeting Analytical summary, not a verbatim report (unlike CD/PVs for Conference on Disarmament) Generally available to the public on ODS Used to support the intergovernmental process Individual speakers and members of delegation are identified by name in the records International Law Commission Human rights treaty bodies UNHCR Executive Committee Disarmament bodies (e.g. CCW Review Conference)

37 Corrections procedure Cannot be altered post facto i.e. reference can only be made to what was actually said; Any corrections to be transmitted to the Division of Conference Management in the language in which the SR was issued; Corrections to the records will be issued as a technical reissue.

42 Strategic Heritage Plan

43 Conferences benefits Completion date of the SHP is end of State of the art conference centre Versatile, flexible facilities using up to date technology Rehabilitation of Room III as a dedicated conference room Cutting edge digital Press conference room Fully accessible interpretation booths (increase from 21 to 44) Delivery of new building is 2020

44 Conference rooms capacity Former Council Cinema (C Building)

45 New equipment or upgrade Interpretation system & electronic voting system Projection system & presenation system Audio installation/ recording multicasting Video conferencing & webcasting Transcription system Wi-Fi Fire Code compliancy Furnishing (Carpet, ceiling painting) & lighting where necessary Ventilation where necessary

46 Options are currently being explored, costed and assessed Number of non-official calendar meetings (such as side-events, informal panel discussions and consultations) to be reduced For official calendar meetings, options being considered use of alternate conference facilities creating temporary conferencing spaces converting portions of the existing buildings Discussions with the Host Country on alternative venues Maintaining business continuity throughout the renovation is a priority

48 Opportunities Accessibility

49 Captioning Remote captioning can be provided in English, French, Spanish and Russian Outsourced through companies holding a contract with Procurement Use of technological equipment enabling picture-in-picture streaming (i.e. mix the different images such as sign language interpreters and captioning to be streamed into the Webcast) Future challenge would be to identify on the market a voice recognition software which can be managed locally

50 Sign language interpretation International Sign Language provided by accredited Free lance interpreters; National Sign Language can also be provided to Treaty body meetings depending on State requests (country reviews); Please contact relevant secretariat to inform them of such requests in good time; Delegations could assist in identifying National Sign interpreters; Closed captioning (max 2 languages due to physical constraints) also complements Sign Language; Same conditions and dos and don'ts as for spoken interpretation.

51 Accessible documentation: making sure no one is left behind : Pilot project to adapt core CRPD documents into plain English (outsourcing). 2018: One document adapted in-house as an ad hoc reasonable accommodation for a member of CRPD. Plain language makes information accessible for a wide audience Easy Read makes information accessible for persons with intellectual disabilities
