Yes, this excellent. But I would add that we have been riding on the
coattails of our experiences of previous meetings. We are still mostly
members of a community that has met in person in the recent past. This
social capital will grow thin. It is going to be some time before big
international gatherings will once again be normalized. I would guess
that more regional gatherings will come back on stream well before that.
I would like to see ICANN put thought, action and money into planning
smaller regional gatherings so that the community can retain and grow
the social capital needed for this kind of endeavour. If the lights are
out for too long, I don't think improved technology will keep the energy
moving.
