Dear Dev,<br>
<br>
thanks for reporting this. A while ago, when Adobe Connect was faced
with security problems, ICANN briefly interrupted the use of Adobe
Connect and replaced it with both the use of Webex and Zoom. The
result was not particularly positive and the vast majority of people
were happy to return to Adobe Connect, which is a lot more powerful
than Webex and at least keeps some form of order to the order in
which people put their hands up. Zoom has some serious shortfalls
for meetings with a large number of people --- and it does not offer
local dial up in many countries around the world. <br>
I am very surprised about this choice.<br>
<br>
How do you all rate Zoom vs. Adobe Connect?<br>
<br>
Kindest regards,<br>
<br>
Olivier<br>

has decided to transition our official remote participation
platform from Adobe Connect to Zoom. In January 2019, we
entered into a contract with Zoom to license its product for
widespread deployment. Plans are being executed now so that we
can completely replace Adobe Connect & PGi by ICANN65 in
Marrakech, Morocco. Our intent is to run ICANN65 using Zoom as
our sole web conference platform.</span><br>
