<div dir="auto">The meetings team, ICANN staff and Community could see this as a rare opportunity to test innovative ways of clustering topics for discussion. This meeting could be more of cross community discussions, arrayed in a sequence rather than in overlapping parallel sessions in multiple rooms - at least for two out of 7 days. If more participants expected for this online meeting, than there could also be a shift away from acronyms and DNS / Community terminology. If the online meeting attracts new participants not usually seen during regular ICANN meetings, there might be fresh insights and fresh perspectives, some of the discussion themes could be suitably drawn.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Feb 20, 2020, 16:00 Izumi AIZU <<a href="mailto:iza@anr.org">iza@anr.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div dir="auto">I could agree a lot with what Bill wrote here, but at the same time the industry and corporate lobbyists of the Domain name industry will make sure that they will be as effective in the virtual processes as the face-to-face one.</div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Izumi </div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">2020年2月20日(木) 18:51 Shcherbovich Andrey <<a href="mailto:dvbirve@yandex.ru" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">dvbirve@yandex.ru</a>>:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div>I suppose that face-to-face meetings are vitally important for the IG community.
