[technology taskforce] Interpretation for Virtual meetings

[Judith Hellerstein]

Hi Olivier 
Thanks for your questions. I had previously suggested Kudo to icann staff and I believe they said that they had reviewed it and did not think it would work for icann. I had used it for CITEL Meeting. CITEL is the Regional group for north and South America under the OAS and works with the ITU. I thought CITEL worked well and it was easy to switch from different language. 

Icann is staying with zoom and they seem to like this new audio tool. When I used it before I used it on two devices as this was easier to manage then using one device.

However always happy to test out new platforms

Best
Judith
