[NCUC-DISCUSS] Does ICANN really foster collaboration?

[Hiba Eltigani]

Hello Ayden
     Thanks for swift reply. The issue is related to sanctions because the
tool is accessible using VPNs and tunnels. I haven't come across the audio
bridge option in the events i tried to connect remotely to but there was a
dial-in option using international calls.

Hi Hiba,

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?

Best wishes,

Ayden Férdeline
