As a FYI, on the O&E call today, there will be a presentation (and demo of) an a proposed At-Large Blog that wasn't shown during ICANN64 Kobe due to time constraints - the demo site is at https://icannatlarge.blog - there's some interesting tech relating to translation and transcription and obvious social media benefits, hence the cross posting to TTF and Social Media WG to attend the O&E call.

ICANN's Confluence wiki was hacked last week
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh April 16, 2019

April 16, 2019

*http://domainincite.com/24153-icann-got-hacked-by-crypto-bots <http://domainincite.com/24153-icann-got-hacked-by-crypto-bots> * *ICANN had to take down its community wiki for several hours last week after it got hacked by crypto-currency miners.* The bad guys got in via one of two “critical” vulnerabilities in Confluence, the wiki software that ICANN licences from Atlassian Systems, which ICANN had not yet patched. ICANN’s techies noticed the wiki, which is used by many of its policy-making bodies to coordinate their work, was running slowly April 11. They quickly discovered that Atlassian had issued a vulnerability warning <https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-security-advisory-2019-03-2…> on March 20, but ICANN was not on its mailing list (doh!) so hadn’t been directly notified. They also determined that a malicious “Crypto-Miner” — software that uses spare CPU cycles to attempt to create new cryptocurrency coins — had been installed and was responsible for the poor performance. ICANN said it took the wiki down, restored it to a recent backup, patched Confluence, and brought the system back online. It seems to have taken a matter of hours from discovery to resolution.

Techcrunch : Atlassian gives Confluence a makeover, acquires Good Software
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh April 11, 2019

April 11, 2019

Atlassian today announced a new version of Confluence <https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence>, its collaboration platform.... ....To do this, Atlassian also today announced that it has acquired Good Software <https://www.goodsoftware.co/>, a company that makes analytics tools for Confluence users and admins. In total, Atlassian is announcing 15 new features for the product. Unsurprisingly, given the acquisition of Good Software, one of these new features is extended analytics. With this, Confluence users will be able to see how others in their company engage with their content. The idea here, Atlassian says, is to help everybody write better content and not just see who writes the most popular copy (though that’s surely how this will also be used). There are some other uses here, too, though. An HR manager may notice that a page with outdated information is still getting hits, for example..... .....Another major new feature is the introduction of an updated editor. The core features of this new editor are actually shared across most Atlassian products now, but as Pratima Arora, the company’s head of Confluence, told me, that editor is then tweaked for the individual products. For Confluence, this means support for the ever-important feature of adding emojis to your pages, but at the core of that is the new slash (/) command that, similar to Slack, lets you add tables, images and macros to your pages. Other new features include the ability to easily create better-looking tables of content, action items, roadmaps and due dates, as well as smartlinks that automatically preview content for services like Google Drive, Dropbox, Trello, GitHub and others. All of this is meant to make organizing content just a little bit easier.... ...Also new are a set of new templates and a new media experience."

As with all transitions, there will be a learning curve for community members as well as for staff but through the tools, information and proposed next steps outlined below, we hope we can make this transition is as smooth as possible. The complete roll out is expected to be finalized by ICANN65, Marrakech, however many groups will be noticing their calls scheduled on Zoom as of next week. Please see below a few pointers which we hope will help get everyone ready. *How is staff preparing for the transition?* Staff has received training, has viewed training videos and has had the opportunity to go through practice runs in Zoom rooms. This should facilitate our assistance in getting you all up to speed and work with the different groups on transitioning existing practices to the zoom environment. *What is available to the community to prepare for the transition?* Staff is reaching out to Stakeholder Group and Constituency, as well as PDP Working Group, leadership teams to introduce them to Zoom and ensure they will be comfortable running their first sessions with this new tool. Staff will also present Zoom to community members at the beginning of each conference call to ensure all understand the different functions and how to use them. The attached Welcome to Zoom! document will be presented at the same time. SOAC Support staff will be present during each call to assist. *What stays the same? (please open the Welcome to Zoom! document for a visual)* Zoom rooms still show participant and chat pods. The public chat pods will be archived and circulated as per usual, the private chat content remains inaccessible to ICANN Org staff). Documents can still be viewed in the Zoom room but please note that this sharing is a screen share which means it is no longer possible to scroll through documents unless the person who is sharing their screen does so. It is possible to join the audio via audio bridge (telephone) or via the computer. Zoom VoIP quality is excellent. It will still be possible to get a dial out for those unable to connect to the Zoom room. *What changes? (please open the Welcome to Zoom! And the FAQ documents)* Participants need to click on the participant list and the chat to activate them. This just takes two seconds. The content of the chat only appears from participant connection time. This means if you joins 4 mins late, you will not be able to access the first 4 mins of the chat. Zoom is notified of this and is looking into resolving the issue. The entire content of the chat transcript will however be available immediately after the end of the call once it gets posted / circulated by the host. Several documents can be viewed at the same time if several staff members are screensharing, this will allow you to navigate (as applicable) to Notes, Agenda and Documents in your own time during the call. Documents will be able to be shared via the chat to allow all to download materials to their computers during the call. The mobile app does not require you to remain in the app in order to hear the zoom room audio. *Please open the attached FAQ document for any additional queries you may have. * If you have any comments, questions or suggestions, please let us know – our objective is to make sure this transition is as smooth as possible.

Transitioning ICANN's Remote Participation Platform to Zoom
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh April 4, 2019

April 4, 2019

just as Adobe is starting to switch to HTML5 from Flash https://www.icann.org/news/blog/transitioning-icann-s-remote-participation-… After careful consideration, ICANN org 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.
