Dear Sarah,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>

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. <br>

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