Looking back at ICANN69 What went well? What can we do better? The ICANN69 “feedback-on-feedback” is now available. The document aims to evaluate the community feedback received regarding the Virtual ccNSO Members meeting at ICANN69, and provides the feedback from the ccNSO Meetings Programme Committee (MPC <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001b4KD7-w7DcGqwQJkbrnYMBYwDHWnst8tW1WTsoLRpPXB3...>) in response. ICANN69 marked the second virtual ccNSO Members Meeting. Although this year’s virtual conferences are a temporary response to a crisis, there may be elements worth keeping. The MPC would like to make the experiment an investment in the future by actively surveying attendees — both about what they found missing from in-person meetings and what they found uniquely attractive in the virtual conference format.
