ICANN69 Update: Improving Your Meeting Experience
by Kimberly Carlson Sept. 25, 2020

Sept. 25, 2020

https://www.icann.org/news/blog/icann69-update-improving-your-meeting-exper… With all ICANN meetings, our goal is to provide a secure and inclusive space for all participants. The COVID-19 pandemic has made this objective all the more important. The virtual meeting format, which we launched with ICANN67 in March and improved with ICANN68 in June, is constantly evolving. Through feedback from meeting participants and lessons learned, we are always looking for opportunities to enhance your meeting experience. Live Streaming One request we received loud and clear was the need to provide an alternate live stream option to increase accessibility, similar to what was previously available for high-interest sessions. To address this request from our community, we are pleased to announce a pilot effort to stream select ICANN69 sessions, live on YouTube. By providing view-only live streams on YouTube, we are increasing the availability and accessibility of ICANN69 sessions. YouTube has a broader global reach and provides a low-bandwidth alternative for attendees. This live streaming option will be available with five high-interest ICANN69 sessions. This will allow us to evaluate the use and make improvements for future meetings, if demand warrants it. There are a few key differences with watching the live stream on YouTube rather than participating via Zoom. YouTube has the following differences: · There will be a 20- to 30-second delay. · Only the original floor audio, without interpretation, will be available. This is due to the delay and the nature of the stream. Interpreted audio is available through the Congress Rental Network app, as it was during ICANN68. · It is a view or listen-only option. Comments will be turned off and there will be no opportunity to engage. Zoom Meetings versus Webinars It is certainly true that the community prefers the open, collaborative nature of Zoom meetings. However, Zoom webinars offer a much more secure and structured format, with less potential for disruptions. Given the appetite for both formats, ICANN org has left this choice up to each meeting organizer. Don't Forget to Register We have also made changes to the Public Meeting schedule and how participation links are accessed. All participants must register for ICANN69<https://69.schedule.icann.org/> in order to access the ICANN69 schedule section of the event website. The session participation links are only available via the schedule. Mandatory meeting registration is intended to increase the security of our sessions. To further secure our sessions meetings, participation links will only be published one day prior to the session, with a unique passcode embedded link. Links to the YouTube live streams for the select sessions will also be available via the ICANN69 schedule. ICANN org strives to keep our Public Meetings open and accessible, and it can be a challenge to strike a balance between usability and security. We are confident that these changes will help us find this equilibrium, and enable a productive and enjoyable meeting experience for our entire community. If you have questions or feedback, please post them in the comments below. See you all at ICANN69.

REMINDER: Interaction with the ICANN Board during ICANN69 From: Maarten Botterman, ICANN Board Chair Dear ICANN Community Group Chairs, Please reply no later than Monday, 5 October 2020. While 2020 has proven challenging and likely very different from what we were all expecting when we last saw each other almost a year ago in Montréal, the Board and I keep being impressed and grateful for your continued dedication to ICANN’s mission. The Board still values its dialogue with your groups and is very much looking forward to engaging with you during our 22nd and first ever virtual Annual General Meeting that will take place between 13-22 October 2020. As you keep working on the format for ICANN69, we would like to start preparing for community dialogue with the Board. As per what we did in Montréal and virtually for ICANN67, instead of sending up to three questions to the Board, we would like to offer you the alternative option of choosing a single topic and having an open discussion with the Board on that topic. We will also publish the list of questions or topics received using this digest as a successful tool for improving transparency and allowing other groups to deepen their own understanding of their peers’ point of view on different issues. As for time allocation, per what we did previously, we propose to allocate half of our time together to answer your questions or discuss your single topic and the other half to address the Board’s topic. In preparation for our meetings, the Board has chosen the following topic to have an open discussion with you: Enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model - key issues and opportunities for acceleration. In your preparation, you may want to consider the results of the most recent public consultation and the work that has progressed with dependencies to enhancing the effectiveness of the multistakeholder model, such as the Accountability and Transparency Review Team (ATRT3) Final Report and work on prioritization and budgeting). We would be very grateful if you could send to Board Operations, board-ops-team(a)icann.org, your single topic or list of questions, in order of priority, no later than Monday, 5 October 2020 or sooner. For your information, we are not changing the current total time allotted per group. We look forward to hearing your thoughts, questions or topics of interest and to exchange with you constructively and virtually. Best regards, Maarten Botterman ICANN Board Chair REMINDER: ICANN69 Internet Access Reimbursement Program Pilot ICANN previously announced the Pandemic Internet Access Program Pilot for ICANN69, following the ICANN Board resolution in support of the pilot program.
