A Few Tips for Remote Participants

Joining virtually is just as meaningful as being there in person. Here’s how to have the best experience:

Keep Zoom links within the community: please don’t share them publicly on social media. YouTube Livestream links are great to share when available.
Sign in with your full name (First Name + Last Name) so that your participation is properly recognized in ICANN’s multistakeholder process.
Let’s keep it kind and inclusive: ICANN’s Expected Standards of Behavior are there to protect everyone. Take a moment to review them: go.icann.org/3fchV1t

Interpretation Services

ICANN offers live interpretation in English, French, and Spanish through the Zoom app. Download Zoom ahead of time to make sure you can access this feature seamlessly. Whether in Seville or miles away, you are part of something meaningful. We can’t wait to see, hear, and celebrate you at #ICANN86.

With warmth,
