<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:12.0pt; margin-left:.5in">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:black">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.
</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:12.0pt; margin-left:.5in">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:black">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.</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:12.0pt; margin-left:.5in">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:black">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.
</span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in; margin-bottom:12.0pt; margin-left:.5in">
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif; color:black">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 Learn and further investment is machine translation are imperative. The normal cadence of ICANN infrastructure evolution is insufficient in this new reality. The board has an opportunity to lead the ICANN community, and the
Multistakeholder model itself, into a new era of more inclusion and diversity and the ALAC is here to help.</span></p>
