[At-Large] ICANN68 to be a virtual meeting

Tue Apr 14 05:59:11 UTC 2020

Agree with Olivier 100%.

A virtual meeting is a shadow of a F2F.  What we miss at an F2F is not
merely “fun”, it is the best opportunity to solve difficult
cross-community/sector problems, and to build the relationships that
provide the basis for trust to solve these difficult problems.  Even the
fun is in part useful fun.

While work does get done at a virtual meeting, it’s hardly even a meeting.
For me, Cancun was more like a 7 day long conference call “sprint”, while
still being expected to keep up with your day job and do the dishes.  Some
might call that Hell.

It’s too early to say what the New Normal is. For the next 12-18 months, we
will be in the New Abnormal, not knowing what lies in the other side.
