Dev Thanks for this. It’s great stuff. I would also look at visibility, archiving, and data access – all core to our transparency and accountability mandates.

As I was saying, I do need feedback on what this group wants regarding group chat applications Some of my thoughts - we use Skype for At-Large chat However there are disadvantages of using Skype - chat history is not preserved - a lot of At-Large discussions over the years have already been lost as persons upgrade their machines - conversations on various topics happens in one group so as multiple persons chime in at different times, potential conversations/insights on a particular topic/issue are lost in the one stream. - no ability to search messages across all skype groups - one has to remember what skype group a potential message was in to find it QUESTION : Any other disadvantages to note? - there are a myriad of group chat applications - Slack, Hipchat, Rocket.chat, Mattermost - all share common features - creating public rooms or channels for groups and/or topics - creating private groups not visible to persons outside of such groups - mobile apps to get push notifications and to respond to messages via mobile more effectively - ability to search across all channels and rooms - can be administered by staff to create/archive/delete rooms/channels - staff/admins have more control to add/remove/invite persons - allows for extensions/integrations so that different services can be integrated (eg Twitter notifications to a channel, email to a channel) QUESTION: Any other core features to note? Based on these core features, Group chat offers significant benefits than Skype - potential for At-large community members to be added by Staff and added to channels of their interest - potential to reduce email overload - ability to find messages and conversations when they have time and new found interest to learn/participate more QUESTION: Any other core benefits? QUESTION - Are there any specific feature that makes a specific group chat stand out in terms of which one should be picked? QUESTION - What do we want to recommend for ALAC/ICANN as next steps?
