<p>HI Jonathan and Marita,</p>
<p>These are all excellent ideas. I support this effort. Regional
meetings are important and face to face are also really important.</p>
<p>Best,</p>

Great suggestion Marita! Despite having written all of that on a
phone, I'm not wedded to it. I can turn it into ALAC
correspondence, advice or even something for Cicle ID. If we
want to focus the board in on regional meetings that could be a
good discussion!</div>

<p><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">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.

The Pandemic has presented a unique set of challenges
to people and organizations around the world, the
ICANN community among them. At first blush, the
community seemed uniquely prepared for a move to
virtual meetings, given our already extensive use of
tools such as Zoom, Skype and email. Further, the
attendance even hinted at the possibility of more
inclusive discourse and decision making and talk of a
hybrid model for meetings became common.

Of course, the reality has been somewhat different. We
are reminded of the extent to which we previously
postponed discussions until face to face meetings
because of their greater pructivity and, frankly,
greater civility. Timezones and fatigue contribute to
a less than ideal environment for consensus building..
Finally, virtual meetings lack the sense of "event"
that face to face meetings enjoyed. Gone is the sense
of milestones that previously existed.<br>

While much of this is beyond our control, technology
has a role to play in making the most of our "virtual
reality." There are tools for improved discussion and
decision-making such as Slack and Loomio. There are
much improved tools for machine translation and
greater linguistic inclusion. There are tools for
improved virtual outreach. Finally there's an even
greater role for ICANN Learn.

The ALAC applauds the hiring of Melissa Allgood and
the development of resources devoted to improved
cooperation and decision-making within the community
but we believe the situation demands more. The best
use of the savings, realized by going virtual, is
further investment in these resources and tools.
Expediting the rollout of ITI (setting clear
expectations and meeting them), incorporation of
modern tools for offline threaded discussions and
consensus building and expansion of ICANN Le<span

further investment is machine translation<br>
