[NCUC-DISCUSS] Fwd: [ICANN Community Leaders] Important Update - ICANN68 to be Held as Zoom Webinars - ICANN

[Michael J. Oghia]

Hi everyone,

(apologies for cross-posting)

I saw the emails floating around about the Zoombombing incidents at
ICANN68. I'm really sorry to see that it happened. While many of Zoom's v5+
features were meant to reduce it, clearly it's not a panacea.

As a reminder, I created a Zoombombing prevention guide
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zUV_z0XkuN2rQ5bDYFx9BBWM4rpYpO5Ker5ZWDnPr9M/edit?usp=sharing>,
and provides tips, mental health resources, and other important links. I've
also shared this with ICANN.org, so hopefully it won't happen again.

Best,
-Michae
