Update about CRTC Public Hearing about "live feeding link"

Hello,

Some of you have been asking me how to find live feeding from Oct 21st, Oct 22, and Oct 23rd from CRTC public hearing.

You can go to: http://download.isiglobal.ca/crtc/. There have some several dates if you missed the video feeding. You can click on it.

Now I would like to give u an update on few things:

Jodi Birley from British Columbia Video Relay Services (BVCRS) Committee is explaining about the encouragement about twitter. Please see:

Now some of you are wondering if you can intervene and make comments, you can do that as it is not too late. CRTC website states (www.crtc.gc.ca):

54. To permit interested persons whose first language is ASL or LSQ to fully participate in this proceeding, the Commission will accept video interventions in ASL and LSQ in response to this notice. The deadline for submitting video interventions is 17 May 2013. Video interventions are to follow the same procedures as written interventions, as set out in the previous sections of this notice, and indicate whether the person wishes to appear at the public hearing. The intervention must also indicate any requests for accommodation regarding such appearance at the public hearing.

Reply comments must respond only to interventions and answers to Commission questions previously submitted by other participants. Parties may also submit final video reply comments by 15 November 2013.

56. The Commission will post English transcripts of ASL videos and French transcripts of LSQ videos on its website. Videos will be made public when the transcript becomes available. Interveners may choose to submit written transcripts with their videos to facilitate the process.
