[NCUC-DISCUSS] Does ICANN really foster collaboration?

It is good to hear from you. Many of us want to keep ICANN and internet governance free of intergovernmental politics.

Does Rocket chat have the same issues as AdobeConnect?   The new chat tool NCUC will be using is not based on AdobeConnect. Have you tried to sign up for it yet?

People within ICANN have come to rely on AdobeConnect because they are already familiar with it, that is all, it should be possible to find a sanctions-free software tool. But it will be hard to motivate people to switch to a new platform.

Keep pushing

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.
