Dear colleagues. If you are planning to attend ICANN74, please note that
you will be required to sign a very broadly worded waiver that goes well
beyond any issues related to the pandemic. You can read the waiver here:

Several registrars have asked that this requirement be dropped

Michele Neylon, Managing Director of Blacknight Solutions, seeking legal
advice on behalf of himself and staff, was advised that neither he nor
his staff should sign a waiver granting ICANN blanket exclusion of
liability.

It is an unsettling way to begin what was looking like a new beginning
after so many hours at virtual public meetings. I have attended more
public meetings in my life than I could ever count, and have never been
asked to sign such an extensive waiver. I would be interested to know
if others have ever encountered this.
