Thanks for sharing Dev, this is certainly an old discussion that is being revived in circumstances such as the current announcement of the closure of Skype.

I share the opinion of other colleagues in wanting us to use open solutions as opposed to Teams which is widely known for how invasive it is in systems (OSs, Mobiles).

Could we make new suggestions to Icann as a working team, since we have done so before?

Warm regards

So, do we switch to Teams (and will it work for the At-Large Community?) Or another group chat solution ?

"It’s the end of an era. Microsoft is shutting down Skype in May and replacing it with the free version of Microsoft Teams for consumers. Existing Skype users will be able to log in to the Microsoft Teams app and have their message history, group chats, and contacts all automatically available without having to create another account, or they can choose to export their data instead. Microsoft is also phasing out support for calling domestic or international numbers."
