<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Hi All, <div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>AK </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Apr 14, 2020 at 4:18 PM Sergio Salinas Porto <<a href="mailto:presidencia@internauta.org.ar" target="_blank">presidencia@internauta.org.ar</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Dear friends, I must say that I absolutely agree with what Olivier says.<br>Beyond this I would like to add that I am concerned with online interpretation at our ICANN68 meetings.<br>If this worked properly so that ALL of us can participate on equal terms, I think that, in principle, would help to correct the unbeatable scenario of face-to-face meetings.<div>Kind regards<br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><pre><pre><font color="#222222"><b>Sergio Salinas Porto</b></font>
