Now that’s a splendid proposal, and as a native English speaker you could draft the terms of reference. Although I’m not sure coffee in Staff offices affects the user community in the same way as tools for conferencing.

Then, a recommendation to Chairs of ACs and SOs: ICANN Board and CEO could be requested to set up a specifications sheet for a desirable conferencing tool, based on needs expressed by the multi-stakeholder community, and publish that as a tender. Offers received could then be reviewed not only by Staff, but in consultation with ACs and SOs. This would get us closer to what we, collectively, consider as the appropriate tool for the numerous conference calls held throughout ICANN. Jean-Jacques Subrenat.

The change from Adobe to Zoom may, or may not, have been right for ICANN and for this group for any number of reasons ranging from cost, to security, to scalability and utility. But let’s not romanticize Adobe. They are not a terribly secure platform generically. As James said, the Zoom response is poor – but we can’t hang that around the neck of ICANN org.

Zooms response is poor I agree, but on a data driven comparison it is a far more secure platform.

Look at the timeline in the Medium post. They only sought to fix it after the vulnerability drew media attention. Adobe Connect was not perfect but it met our needs and the occasional security issues that arose were promptly fixed by Adobe and never as serious as this one!

Its only a matter of time a loophole is found and exploited and eventually patched up. If you think Adobe Connect or ezTalks were/are free of these architectural issues, think again! That's the way we technical community do things.

They are working on a fix, now that public scrutiny demands one. So disappointing that ICANN has put us in this terrible situation.

"A vulnerability in the Mac Zoom Client allows any malicious website to enable your camera without your permission... This vulnerability allows any website to forcibly join a user to a Zoom call, with their video camera activated, without the user's permission. On top of this, this vulnerability would have allowed any webpage to DOS (Denial of Service) a Mac by repeatedly joining a user to an invalid call. Additionally, if you’ve ever installed the Zoom client and then uninstalled it, you still have a localhost web server on your machine that will happily re-install the Zoom client for you, without requiring any user interaction on your behalf besides visiting a webpage. This re-install ‘feature’ continues to work to this day." Read more here: https://medium.com/@jonathan.leitschuh/zoom-zero-day-4-million-webcams-maybe...
