                    as a result of the pandemic. We could have a series

                    during this discussion including the impacts of the
                    pandemic on the MSM - their chosen topic - but to do
                    so without the formal "them and us" format. </div>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>I could compile a list of speakers and
                    topics already from this list. If we give the topics
                    to them beforehand, then they too may organise their
                    own speakers to address each issue raised - it would
                    also encourage the involvement of more Board members
                    too. But we could do it more as a conversation (but
                    prepared so that we keep our questions short and to
                    the point and if they are given the questions
                    beforehand, their responses can also be more
                    specific. However if there is a followup discussion
                    on a particular topic, we must be mindful of other
                    participants waiting for their turn in this

                              <p>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.
