[NCUC-DISCUSS] Does ICANN really foster collaboration?

Wed May 4 11:55:01 CEST 2016

Hi Ayden, I don't this this is because you the reason you are referring to because the embargo is for products which in this case is software. Adobeconnect's web version enables the end user to access the platform at the URL level instead of downloading a software, though there are ones available. 

Hiba, can you please confirm what error do you get when accessing https://icann.adobeconnect.comIf you cant access the URL this apparently seems to be a local/National issue with the URL being blocked by the ISPs. 
Either way, you can always rely on requesting for a "Dial-Out" where you will get a call via phone and participate in the meeting (s).Also, dialing the toll free via skype and joining in is a good alternative. 

Thanks for raising your concerns. 

Best, 
Zakir

|  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

  Hello NCUC
    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.
 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.    
      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.Sorry if this is not the right place to raise these concerns but i am just speaking for Internet users in Sudan.BRHiba
