<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">ICANN convened a call today with SO/AC/SG/C leaders and Goran, Maarten and other ICANN staff to discuss the upcoming ICANN meeting in Cancun, and more specifically the potential impact of the coronavirus on
our ability to meet in person. The ICANN Board has a special meeting scheduled for 2000 UTC on Wednesday to discuss the matter further. The Zoom recording of the session is below for anyone who would like to listen. It is clear to me that ICANN’s leadership
is taking this situation seriously and is trying to find the right balance under challenging and uncertain circumstances.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:05:44 From Ole : Has it started yet? I hear nothing.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:05:57 From Fred Baker : yes</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:06:28 From Ria Otanes : @Ole, could you try reconnecting?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:07:37 From Fred Baker : My suggestion re coronavirus: have the meeting, but have ICANN bring/provide appropriate face masks for those that wish to wear them.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:09:12 From Ole : I hear now, thanks!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:09:12 From Katrina Sataki (ccNSO) : and hand sanitizers everywhere</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:12:38 From Donna Austin, Neustar : everyone will have their temperature taken every day? just trying to qualify?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:12:44 From Donna Austin, Neustar : clarify</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:16:20 From Keith Drazek (Verisign) : I have joined the Zoom room.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:17:00 From Dean Marks : Is there recognition that in the last day or two coronavirus has been determined to be significantly more lethal than the "normal" influeneza?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:17:01 From Bruna Santos : Q: What about the cases that can potentially be brought to the region? thinking about Asymptomatic transmission.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:17:13 From Chris Disspain : @ Fred…It seems that masks don’t work…</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:17:47 From Robin Gross : what happens when one has a high temperature?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:17:53 From Heather Forrest : QUESTION: What is the last day on which ICANN would make a decision to cancel the meeting?
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:18:42 From Robin Gross : QUESTION: what happens when one has a high temperature?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:19:03 From Susan Payne SCA : QUESTION - in a cruise-ship type scenario, how readily is the local Mexican health service able to cope?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:19:05 From Keith Drazek (Verisign) : Good question, Heather, I was going to ask the same thing. As a follow up, is the Board's meeting on Wednesday intended to be decisional on this question,
or just a discussion?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:19:22 From Robin Gross : gloves could be distributed as well.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:20:40 From Susan Payne SCA : QUESTION - what volume of remote participation can you accommodate for individual sessions, if people are reluctant to attend? and can ICANN still run the meeting
if large numbers of staff are reluctant to travel?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:21:58 From Dean Marks : Question: I read in several leading newspapers (the Guardian, NY Times, etc.) that the mortality rate of coronavirus is 2.3%, whereas the last flu virus in the U.S.
it was 0.1%. This included the New York Times. Is Dr. Alvaro saying that those reports are incorrect?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:22:20 From Donna Austin, Neustar : QUESTION: And what happens next to the person, and the meeting, if it is the virus?</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:24:38 From Maureen Hilyard (ALAC) : At-Large discussions indicate that our members believe the that as the LAC region is not a risk area, the meeting should proceed</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:24:50 From Bruna Santos : *Question: Board will also assess the meeting in Kuala Lumpur ? or the decision for now will be specifically on Cancun
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:24:56 From Jay Sudowski : NomCom members have no concerns about attending</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:25:31 From Robin Gross : NCSG is not in favor of canceling or moving the meeting either.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:25:53 From Bruna Santos : NCUC also has support for the meeting, few general concerns about possible local health measures but no objections!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:28:40 From Donna Austin, Neustar : That doesn't answer the impact on the meeting, I expect if there is one instance of the virus detected it will make others very nervous. Will there be a lockdown
scenario?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:28:51 From Graeme Bunton : RrSG still supports having the meeting. Questions about the KL meeting in June though.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:32:58 From Dean Marks : Thank you Dr. Alvaro.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:33:45 From Bruna Santos : Question: Will the situation affect community engagement events? eg. gala and other social...</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:35:17 From Susan Payne SCA : I wonder if Dr Alvaro could circle back to the Question on capacity of the Mexican health authorities please?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:35:53 From Jay Sudowski : Q: If the Board decides to cancel or reschedule the meeting tomorrow, how quickly will that be communicated to the community?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:37:50 From Katrina Sataki (ccNSO) : Q: at what time is the Board call scheduled?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:38:11 From Chris Disspain : 2000 utc</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:38:17 From Katrina Sataki (ccNSO) : thank you!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:38:33 From Donna Austin, Neustar : Is there a level of attendance required to make the meeting viable?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:39:13 From Susan Payne SCA : Question - are there any restrictions by Mexico, or ICANN on travellers from particular countries or regions. I think there are not...</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:40:16 From Chris Disspain : Susan - I believe not at this stage</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:40:21 From David Olive : Manal. You are next.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:40:25 From David Olive : Sorry I miss your hand</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:41:16 From Chris Disspain : Simon - could you clarify that please - ICANN is not currently attempting to prevent participants from china attending - right`/</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:41:28 From Chris Disspain : You meant staff are restricted</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:41:36 From Heather Forrest : Following up on Susan's question about lack of travel restrictions, to confirm, is it the case that there is nothing to stop a participant attending the meeting
from a highly affected region (ie, Wuhan)?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:41:37 From Susan Payne SCA : so you are saying community members from china and HK cannot attend the meeting. or is that just ICANN staff?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:41:41 From Chris Disspain : Or have I misunderstood</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:42:02 From Donna Austin, Neustar : What's ICANN's policy for funded travellers? Does ICANN have a policy that would restrict travel from funded travellers from affected countries or regions?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:44:26 From Susan Payne SCA : thank you for the clarification Goran - I think this may impact the views of some in our constituency, who had assumed there were such resrictions</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:44:53 From Keith Drazek (Verisign) : And it's not just the ICANN travelers, there will be others arriving into Cancun for spring break, etc.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:46:53 From Dean Marks : Thanks for putting this call together. Much appreciated</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">12:48:57 From sergio salinas porto LACRALO : hi everyone!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
