<div dir="ltr"><div>Greetings to all</div><div><br></div><div>I share the point of view of dev, I think that slack can be a tool to integrate all communications within the stakeholder model avoiding overloading our personal emails with excess emails lists.</div><div><br></div><div>Now that slack will have the option of voice depending on the limitations (connectivity and whether it will be compatible with the free version).

Re: Skype, Skype calls aren't typically used for group calls but are<br>
often used for At-Large members to voice chat one on one. As a FYI,<br>
the Skype Translation features now built in for one on one chat and<br>
video calls are a huge plus. Had a conversation with a LACRALO<br>
colleague in Latin America and the Skype translation worked well<br>
between English and Spanish, in spite of the bandwidth challenges.<br>
I suspect Slack voice and video chat would not have this feature.<br>
There is a Slack integration to translate Slack messages<br>

>>> First, it’s a synchronous communication model and the community, due to timezones, work schedules, etc., work asynchronously. Second, as most synchronous models, the medium is conducive to short messages, sometimes with attachments and/or links. It’s not good at lengthy, thoughtful discussions. And third, is that it’s not open and transparent. I really have no idea how we could let people inspect the discussions happening within Slack. And as for archiving offline somewhere, again, I have no idea how that would work. Note that they have a robust API we could work with to resolve some of these issues.<br>

It’s a modern replacement for the forum with many features that overlap with listservs. I tried deploying this twice, once with 1Net — remember that??? :) — and once with one of the IANA transition groups. Both times community members resisted and asked us to revert to a standard listerv. Which we of course did.<br>
