[At-Large] ICANN68 to be a virtual meeting

[ABDULKARIM AYOPO OLOYEDE]

Hi All,
As mentioned earlier by Glenn, let me elaborate; I do not think the
discussion now should be about having virtual meetings or face to face in
future . The current reality is we are having ICANN 68 as Virtual. and who
knows maybe ICANN 69 or even 70.  I do not see a complete travel
restriction being lifted even if we manage to get  out of this situation. I
see the current situation like 9/11, the world never recovered from it
completely because it was catastrophic like the current situation.    Air
travel and airport checks changed forever cos of that. How do we make sure
that we get people to  participate and get the job done giving the reality
now should be our focus. The reality is there are lots  of challenges not
captured currently,  time zone issues, day job, lack of connectivity
(digital divide) and so on if we manage to solve all this then we can now
come back to the discussion of future meetings going virtual. We need to
put forward a formal proposal to ICANN and the Board.  This is something
most of us have never imagined even in our dreams and was never captured.
Now is the time to capture it formally and not leave it till when it is
late like handling of GDPR.
