The list of problems that ISOC Connect brings is long - the biggest
problem being the inability for cleanly forward a message from the
system to proper email. It contains all sorts of links etc. And you also
have to log in to read its archives. I remind you that the vast majority
of At-Large mailing lists are publicly archived with no need for a
password to consult them.

We have a working group whose sole task is to look at the new
technologies - the Technology Task Force.
https://community.icann.org/x/FpfbAQ
The questions we are addressing are age-old and have been raised in the
first At-Large Review *plus* in the ATLAS II Statement where all of our
ALS representatives came to London and discussed that very problem.
This gave rise to recommendation 26 - a policy management process
system. https://community.icann.org/x/WJZCAw

We have also made a request this year for financing to do into the first
stage of this project: http://bit.ly/2kZCnH0

The TTF also performed various testing of tools:

Kindest regards,
