Hello All,
I share Barrack's proposal. Ephraim's proposal nonetheless is equally important-but the larger picture that is ALL OVER the world central to ICANN's activities is the INTERNET END USERS-not specific to technocrats or expertise.
That is why I would want us to go for the proposal as modified by Barrack. In the discussion, every stakeholder that constitute the Empowered Community can come in and make a submission on how to build their own resilience in the face of DISASTERS/CALAMITIES/CRISIS etc.
Good day all

Hi Barrack,

Just to add some ideas about semantics and rephrasing the topic to look at the bigger picture.

I thus would like us to also brainstorm an additional topic which is broader to cover DNS resiliency and also topics on ICANN accountability. The topic is: Enhancing implementation of Workstream2 Recommendations in the face of calamities.

I hope with phrasing it like that, it would provide more room for conversation beyond accessibility (which is one of the recommendations under Workstream2) but also other key concerns among the 7 topics provided under Workstream2 recommendations.

Hi Pastor Peters,

Since pandemics might not be common, how about we replace the word pandemic with calamities? (semantic). The community was able to rise above the challenge in Puerto Rico and had its meeting, we may want to look at lessons learnt from such calamities.

  1. Enhancing the resilience of the Empowered Community within ICANN during a Pandemic.
  2. Enhancing the resilience of the Empowered Community within ICANN in the face of calamities.

We could get feedback from colleagues who are wordsmiths.

Best Regards
