I support the proposed modification. We are facing  new challenges such ad ZOOM overload, ZOOM bombing, managing group dynamics in an online context which requires a new form of resilience.

>> 
>> Enhancing the resilience of the Empowered Community within ICANN during a Pandemic.

>> Restricting it to the DNS is restricting our roles in ICANN to just the DNS. How do we at our different levels of involvement as stakeholders cope with a pandemic? How has the pandemic impacted on our involvement in ICANN? What proactive measures can we put in place against future pandemics?
