[technology taskforce] Fwd: [ALAC-Announce] ICANN News Alert -- Attention Adobe Connect Users: Service Change (Action Required)

[Beran Dondeh]

Dear team

I have not been on a lot of calls lately due to some personal issues but upon reading the article below regarding the new adobe connect features ( which Dev touched on briefly on the last call), I can't help but wonder if this does not make redundant our pilot caption program. I see it will offer multilingual chat, scribing among other things... or am I missing something?

Clarifications would be appreciated.

Regards

Beran

> 26 September 2016
> 
> Adobe Connect, ICANN's remote participation tool, is moving over to an ICANN-hosted server. The transition will occur on a rolling basis between 26 September and 14 October 2016. After 14 October, all Adobe Connect meetings will use the new server.
> 
> ICANN made this change to address the performance and reliability problems you have been experiencing. Having the server under ICANN's management means that Adobe Connect will be more stable than in the past. You should experience increased call quality and better customer service. In addition, we will be able to create custom pods – for example, multilingual chat, multilingual scribe streams and timers.
> 
> What Exactly Is the Change?
> 
> Old server: icann.adobeconnect.com
> New server: participate.icann.org
> 
> What Do I Have to Do?
> 
> Important! Because the change is happening in phases, not all meetings will move over to the new server at the same time. During the transition period, check your meeting invitation for the correct URL. If you have any questions, contact the meeting organizer.
> 
> If you are a meeting attendee, you don't have to do anything. Your meeting organizer should be updating the meeting request with the new URL.
> If you are a meeting organizer, update the meeting notice. Change the portion of the URL that specifies the server to the new ICANN server.
> What if I Have Questions?
> 
> Email your questions to mts at icann.org.
