[governance] ICANN to Hold First-Ever Remote Public Meeting

[sivasubramanian muthusamy (via governance Mailing List)]

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.
