Will the assignment involve:

• Interpretation via the Internet (more often than not interpretation of a telephone conversation) or
  
  
• a conference to be webcast?
  
  If the latter, the following questions will help establish the working conditions as well as intellectual property rights implications, if any:
  
  
• Are you dealing with a regular conference where part or all of the presentations will be webcast?
  
  
• If not, and the conference is solely for webcast purposes, will the interpreters be at the site of the conference, or in a remote location, such as a studio?
  
  
• In case there is to be an interaction between the main speakers and the audience, by what means and how are the interpreters supposed to be involved?
  
  
• Will the interpreters have a direct view on the speakers? If not, what kind of visual support and aids will be available?
  
  
• What kind of audio link will be provided?
  
  
• Will there be a SI technician available on site?
  
  
• How long will the assignment be?
  
  
• Will there be a written script of the presentation(s) available?
  
  
• Will the webcast be accessible to the public at large or restricted to people with a password?
  
  
• How long will the conference (and the interpretation) remain posted on the website?
  
  
• Will a written version of the interpretation be made available on the webcast
