[Plan21] Fwd: Question

[Rachel Grider]

Yes, I think we can. Last year, I believe there was only one time when we had back to back sessions for the same captioner, and that was because everything was more last minute. Since we are doing this much sooner, I think that she should be able to get enough captioners. She has quite a few people she uses…

I am still working on the answer to the question of how to continue the streaming if one of our people is captioning. Beth said that it can be done; she said that all she hast to do is switch Captioning, but I did not seem to work last year… I will let you know what else I can find out.

I say get away with it because Natalie is likely not going to assign anywhere near as many captioners to our state convention, so I don’t know if she can avoid back to back scheduling. Also, is it OK for us to assume the captionera won’t have non-business obligations after a session?

For the main sessions - the Banquet, Resolutions, Board Meeting, etc., that are long and not really conducive to a break, I would jump on and switch out the captioner to provide breaks midway through. Otherwise, we asked hosts to take a break every 2 hours or so for the longer sessions, like the division meetings.
