[technology taskforce] Webconferencing tools matrix - requires update

[Olivier MJ Crépin-Leblond]

Dear Sarah,

in the recent "Adobe Connect scare", ICANN stopped using Adobe Connect
for over a month and I guess this provided us with the ability to test
other systems, not just as a test, but in a production environment. It
turned out that the two systems that were used as an emergency back-up
were ill-suited for the job as they missed several features that Adobe
Connect has.
Webex came out worse. It seems that as soon as you use it with
documents, chat, and several people on the call, the thing just doesn't
work well and ends up frustrating everyone to end up hating it. Zoom
came out okay but is missing several features, if only the ability to
see all of the hands up in the correct order, and by someone else than
the host.

In the past we also tested Slack as a potential replacement for Adobe
Connect, when ICANN was looking at alternatives. Again, that had many
limitations which made our life harder in a production environment.

Kindest regards,

Olivier
