Skype Virus: Need for an Advisory
by Satish Babu Oct. 30, 2016

Oct. 30, 2016

Dear Dev and friends I had a request from Maureen on a Skype-based malware that sent a spam link to her entire contact list...a very embarrassing situation... It appears to be the one referred to here: https://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/2015/09/steer-clear-of-this-skype-… The actual spam message sent by the malware is as follows (with the recipient's name in the end): http://www.baidu.com/link?url=re04XeZ54BcvMs5I6_h3T8T9xfWdghVSpFxRxyoq3zW#j… Would it be possible for TTF (once the Hyderabad rush is over), to send out an Advisory for At-Large on how to avoid this malware ? satish

Technology Tips Newsletter
by Judith Hellerstein Oct. 26, 2016

Oct. 26, 2016

HI All, I was off for the Jewish holidays and it seems that Glenn many have sent out an earlier version of the newsletter. Most of the content was there but it was cleaned up and some typos corrected. Here is the correct version of the English language version. I was waiting to send it out when the Spanish and French versions were ready, but they took longer than planned and I was off email the last two days. Thanks. Also the electrical plugs is a good idea and sorry I did not think of it but for the past month I have been out 2 days each week for the Jewish Holidays and had to fit in my work for all 5 days into 3 days each week for past 4 weeks. Looking forward to seeing you all in Hyderabad Best, Judith -- _________________________________________________________________________ Judith Hellerstein, Founder & CEO Hellerstein & Associates 3001 Veazey Terrace NW, Washington DC 20008 Phone: (202) 362-5139 Skype ID: judithhellerstein E-mail: Judith(a)jhellerstein.com Website: www.jhellerstein.com Linked In: www.linkedin.com/in/jhellerstein/ Opening Telecom & Technology Opportunities Worldwide

by Raitme Citterio Oct. 15, 2016

Oct. 15, 2016

Hi colleagues, after reviewing the recent announcement of periscope https://goo.gl/X8j26M I think the team ICANN could request early use of this interesting tool to complement the coverage of the different sessions of social media during icann 57. the procedure is simple just you have to complete the following form https://goo.gl/FS3Sv3 and wait periscope approve the request. I think it would be an excellent opportunity. I welcome your comments. regards Raitme Citterio

Fwd: [ALAC] ATLAS II Recommendations Implementation
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Oct. 14, 2016

Oct. 14, 2016

FYI - Dev Anand ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond <ocl(a)gih.com> Date: 7 October 2016 at 11:03 Subject: [ALAC] ATLAS II Recommendations Implementation To: ALAC Working List <alac(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Dear ALAC, as you know, the second At-Large Summit, aka ATLAS II, brought together 150 At-Large Structures to the ICANN meeting in London in June 2014. One of the outputs of that meeting was an ATLAS II Declaration, ratified by our community by acclamation and transmitted to the ICANN Board. But recommendations are one thing. Implementation of these recommendations are another. The ATLAS II Implementation Task Force picked up the Declaration, fleshed it out, coordinated action items with At-Large working groups, task forces, sub-committees, RALOs and individuals, as well as other ICANN departments, to expand the recommendations, file them and implement them. The results are very impressive: out of 43 recommendations, 34 (80%) have been addressed and implementation has taken place or is in the process of taking place. 9 (20%) are either unsuitable for implementation or require further clarification, consultation, and follow-up with relevant parties. This is all thanks to the amazing amount of work that has been furnished over the past two years by a few working groups and individuals, so kudos to them! We plan to be sending the final report on implementation of the recommendations to the Board very soon, possibly for ICANN 57 in Hyderabad. Please be so kind to therefore review the draft document on: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19sgzpi6DnDfrTjRG6_ tl4dHwn1xlkIfTIQRKde0uEYo/edit?usp=sharing The ATLAS II Implementation Task Force has already reviewed this document, so once the ALAC and At-Large members are fine with it, (and the ALAC has ratified it?) the ALAC can proceed forward with transmitting it officially to the Board. Kindest regards, Olivier _______________________________________________ ALAC mailing list ALAC(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org https://atlarge-lists.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/alac At-Large Online: http://www.atlarge.icann.org ALAC Working Wiki: https://community.icann.org/display/atlarge/At-Large+ Advisory+Committee+(ALAC)

Fwd: [ALAC-Announce] Adobe Connect (AC) room issues
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Oct. 11, 2016

Oct. 11, 2016

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> Date: Tue, Oct 11, 2016 at 5:16 PM Subject: [ALAC-Announce] Adobe Connect (AC) room issues To: ALAC Announce <alac-announce(a)atlarge-lists.icann.org> Cc: ICANN At-Large Staff <staff(a)atlarge.icann.org> Dear all, As many of you are aware, ICANN is now rolling out new Adobe Connect (AC) rooms. Whilst this has been mostly smooth, we have been noticing glitches affecting accessibility, audio quality and some delays in the AC chat pod. Our tech-team is working very closely with Adobe Connect to iron out these issues as soon as possible. In order for the tech team to identify rapidly what constitues an individual issue rather than a widespread one, we encourage you to report any issues which affected the quality of your conference call be it delays in joining, difficulty hearing what was being said, or abnormal delays in the room. *Prior to reporting however please follow the below troubleshooting steps:* 1. Run the ICANN AC test to ensure you have all the latest add ins, it takes 10 – 15 seconds: http://tinyurl.com/icannactest <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__tinyurl.com_icannactest…> 2. Try accessing the AC room via a different browser. Tech support recommends trying this order, from first to last: 1) Firefox 2) Chrome 3) Safari 4) IE 3. Check that you have no Ad Blockers, or other Blockers enabled (this can vary from browser to browser) Once this is done, and you are still having issues, please send an email to tech-support(a)icann.org, cc-ing staff(a)atlarge.icann.org reporting on the above three steps and describing the issue. This will be taken care of, or escalated to Adobe immediately . Please rest assured that the Tech team is working round the clock to solve these issues, and we will provide updates as we go along. Our apologies for the inconvenience caused, Thank you.

Skype Blog: Skype for Linux Alpha and calling on Chrome and Chromebooks
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Oct. 11, 2016

Oct. 11, 2016

>From http://blogs.skype.com/2016/07/13/skype-for-linux-alpha-and-calling-on-chro… "Today, we’re pleased to announce the launch of the Alpha version of a new Skype for Linux client. ....a brand new WebRTC version of Skype for Linux....you’ll notice that it’s very different from the Skype for Linux client you use today. For example, you’ll be using the latest, fast and responsive Skype UI, you can share files, photos and videos and send a whole new range of new emoticons. As we develop this new version of Skype for Linux, we need you to test, provide feedback and help us prioritize features. You will notice that with the Alpha version of Skype for Linux, which uses our next generation calling architecture, you will be able to call your friends and family on the latest versions of Skype on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, but you won’t be able to make or receive calls to and from the previous versions of Skype for Linux (4.3.0.37). Please do provide as much feedback as you can on Skype for Linux Alpha, so we can continue to improve call connections and reliability. .... A couple of months ago, we announced plugin free calling using ORTC on Skype for Web, Outlook and in Office Web Apps, using Microsoft Edge. ORTC makes it possible to make free voice and video calls on Skype without needing to download an app or browser plugin—so it’s really easy to get started on Skype. Today, anyone using a Chromebook or Chrome on Linux can now visit web.skype.com and make one-to-one and group voice calls on top of the messaging features they get today. This again is an Alpha version of Skype based on WebRTC and inherits the same features as the Alpha version of the Skype for Linux client. This is our initial step on our path to replicate ORTC capabilities beyond Microsoft Edge. As such, we want to hear feedback to help us deliver more excitement in the upcoming months. Video calling and calls to landlines and mobiles are coming soon to Chrome browsers in Linux and Chromebooks, so stay tuned for updates over the coming weeks and months.

ICANN blog: Fire on Cargo Ship Affects IT Equipment Bound for ICANN57 Hyderabad
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Oct. 3, 2016

Oct. 3, 2016

https://www.icann.org/news/blog/fire-on-cargo-ship-affects-it-equipment-bou… "However, two services will not be available as a result of the fire: Interactive Remote hubs. Remote video hub operations have provided live broadcasting of participants from preapproved locations into select Main Hall sessions. Due to the complicated matrix-style setup and equipment needed to provide this service in multiple languages, ICANN cannot provide this service in time for ICANN57. Remote participation in sessions is not affected. Content Delivery Network (CDN) service. Provided by Akamai, CDN servers host content from thousands of companies on a local server, which significantly improves response time of downloads and updates for participants. Without the CDN service, you will still have Internet access, but might notice slower response times for select downloads."
