<div>Hi Hiba,</div><div><br clear="none">Thanks for flagging this issue. Why are you unable to access Adobe Connect in Sudan? What happens when you try to access the platform? Is this because Adobe can not export products to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, and other countries where the United States embargoes goods? Are you still able to participate in working groups via the audio bridge?</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Best wishes,</div><div><br clear="none"></div><div>Ayden Férdeline</div><div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello NCUC<br clear="none">
Referring to the last communication about the new chat tool, i want to raise questions about whether ICANN is really fostering collaboration or advocating for equal access.<br clear="none">
I come from Sudan and you all know about the US sanctions issue which is political thing and may be nothing can be done about it in this context. But i think the least that can be done is to insure that users who have equal right to access and participate in ICANN events as part of the brodaer community. <br clear="none">
Curently “Adobe connect” can't be accessed in Sudan and this means eliminating a whole community from having their voice heard. Given that, talks about access seems very theoretical. I don't think it is hard for an organization works in the heart of the Internet to find/ put alternatives tools that work for everyone.</div>
<div dir="ltr">Sorry if this is not the right place to raise these concerns but i am just speaking for Internet users in Sudan.</div>
