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>
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>
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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sorry if this is not the right place to raise these concerns but i am just speaking for Internet users in Sudan.</p>
