[At-Large] ICANN68 to be a virtual meeting

[Natalia Filina]

I fully agree with Olivier,
and may add that regionally allocated meetings, 3 times a year, give people
from each region the opportunity to attend at least 1 (closer, less
expensive if there is no financial sponsor).

And as for new people for At-Large: everyone who started to work without
opportunity to get "fellow ticket"  - even a year of online work for
newcomers is not enough to begin to understand the processes, discussions
and specifics of the interaction of the entire ICANN system. So it relates
directly to quality of everyone`s input and effectiveness.


Sincerely,
Natalia Filina
