I am in the same position as Rasheed. Registered 20 minutes ago but no email. Got a message after registering saying that it was a manual process and could take some time, though. Anyone know how long it takes?

Gents,

I have registered half an hour ago and have been waiting for the confirmation email from rocket.chat. I did two times more resubmitting my email id to receive the confirmation email but still in vain.

Can someone please check.

BR,
Rasheed Tamton.

Apologies I managed to break the server on the first login!
All fixed now, when you reconnect or re login you will see the channels correctly.

=========================================================
Hi Everyone,

I am happy to announce we are going to launch a new real-time chat platform for NCUC members.

https://ncuc.chat

We will run the platform for a few months as a pilot, extending functionality of the platform and integrating it with the various services we use across ICANN, with a vision to try and utilise it to bring some real-time collaboration to NCUC members. We feel that NCUC should be leading the way in bringing innovative collaboration to ICANN policy work and we hope that you will join us in this pilot phase!

Please sign up and get chatting to all your fellow NCUC members! We are launching this now in advance of the ICANN meeting in Helsinki to get everyone onto the platform and familiar before we have our first meeting where we can use its features to bring some real-time collaboration to this new meeting format at ICANN focused on policy discussion and with need of lot of coordination.

How to register:

Go to https://ncuc.chat , click on register a new account. Enter your chosen username, password and email address.
The system will send you a registration confirmation email, click on the registration link and login to the platform.

How to use:
You can access the chat from any browser by going to https://ncuc.chat or you can download apps for Window, Linux, Apple iOS and OSX and Android at https://rocket.chat/.

Once in the system you will see a number of channels have been setup on the left hand side of the window. Some channels as examples are #ICANN-56-Helsinki to collaborate on the next ICANN meeting, or #ccwg-accountability to connect and share information about the critical work of the IANA transition.

Feel free to join in the conversation and contribute, or start your own public and private chats to chat to other NCUC members. Direct messages can be sent between members also using the direct messaging function.
The archives of the chat are available to all who sign up and will be available on a public archive soon.

Security and Accessibility:
Given the diverse membership of NCUC it was critical to ensure that this platform is secure and accessible to all of our members. All chats are encrypted over SSL/TLS and the ncuc.chat server receives an A+ rating on SSL-Labs https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=ncuc.chat&latest .
Direct messages between online users can be encrypted using OTR secure messaging by clicking the Off The Record button while chatting in direct messages.
The site presents all of its information over HTTP and should be accessible from any country on earth, please feel free to message me if you have any troubles connecting in your country.

Disclaimer:
This platform is not intended to replace the NCUC-Discuss mailing list as the official location of all formal NCUC communications and is merely intended to provide an additional channel for more real time and accessible communications to our members.


Please feel free to reach out to me with any further questions.

Regards,

James Gannon
