[Alan Greenberg]

In Barcelona, ICANN said they were testing another platform to augment Adobe Connect. They implied it should be deployex soon, but would not say what product it was.

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

Hi Glenn,

I am guessing this is for comparison purposes. During the first public forum at the just concluded meeting in Barcelona, a participant asked if ICANN was looking at alternatives for AdobeConnect. I believe looking at them can help us see what features to request for in AdobeConnect if we find something exciting.

Kind regards,

Sarah

Shouldn't be any changes to Jitsi. Also another new feature to Jitsi is geographical bridge cascading.
