All public sessions during the ICANN Meeting will have a Zoom Meeting 'virtual room' link posted in the schedule. Check out the How To Participate in ICANN67 Virtual Sessions Guide for information on how to get started today.

Two ICANN staff members, known as Remote Participation Managers, will be assigned to each virtual room to facilitate questions in the chat room and manage speakers in the queue.

LANGUAGE SERVICES AT ICANN67
Learn More: Language Resources Available at ICANN67
ICANN serves a global community, and to facilitate participation, ICANN org tries to make many of our events, meetings, and content accessible in the six United Nations languages – Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish – as well as other languages when needed. The Virtual Community Forum poses unique challenges to providing real-time interpretation and translation. Despite these challenges, we are committed to trying to mitigate the impact.

After much consultation with the ICANN67 Community Planning group, including feedback about what they consider to be critical language services support for the ICANN67 Virtual Community Forum, balanced against the inherent limitations, we are pleased to tell you that we are able to provide language support in English (the main working language of ICANN) as well as live interpretation in Spanish and French. You can find links to the live interpretation streams, as well as real-time transcription links, in the schedule [r20.rs6.net] under the individual session description.

Time Zone Reminder: All session times in the schedule are Eastern Standard Time for Cancún, Mexico [UTC-5]. On 8 March, the U.S. and Canada move to Eastern Daylight Saving Time. However, there is NO TIME CHANGE in Cancún, Mexico, or to the posted Virtual Community Forum schedule on this date.
