the dialogue -- if Brian Cute is no longer doing it, who is now leading this discussion; restoring recruitment and demographics to the list of issues; going beyond "low hanging fruit"; what are the chances of a "holistic review" of structures and relations
within ICANN, etc.. I would see our MSM discussion with the board highlighting these more closely aligned issues.

<p class="MsoNormal">As the current discussion has demonstrated, Jonathan's intro sets the scene for a great "fireside chat" with the Board about the important issues that have evolved for our community as a result of the pandemic. We could have a series of
speakers organised to raise different issues 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. <o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">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 "conversation"). What do you think?<o:p></o:p></p>

<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.

<p style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><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><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><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><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><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><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><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</span><o:p></o:p></p>
