[technology taskforce] How to network outside Zoom sessions?

Dear Judith,

this is the Technology Task Force which tests out *all* technology
irrespective of what ICANN decides to approve at the end. Youtube is
there to watch sessions more easily and using less resources than Zoom.
Remo is for networking outside sessions. So are Gathertown and Virbela.
Let's test them out on future TTF meetings?
Kindest regards,

Olivier
