I fully support the use of Telegram - the only issue is some countries have banned telegram because of different reasons. How do we start testing one of those platforms? Should this be done by the RALOs or we need the "official blessing" by ICANN first?
Thanks
Adrian

Hello everyone!
I agree 100% with Betty.
I've been using Libre software for over 20 years. As we know, Team will no longer support Linux in 2022, so I don't see it as a viable option that includes us all.
I think the path leads us to using Telegram (a portable communication software that interacts across multiple platforms: iOS, Android, and the Web).
Like Betty, I think we need to be pragmatic and inclusive, considering all the operating systems we use.
A big hug to everyone.

HI everyone,
My POV
Teams is not a good option for south countries, individuals and small organisations. Not all navigator working properly and fees to join with all functionalities can be a barrier. 
Discord is for technical/game/student community and we already use plenty tools to collaborate. We can be overwhelming very Quickly. 
Signal is a good social media for privacy but the users community is to small to act for multi-stakeholders interests. 
Telegram is fair and popular for internet ecosystem can be an option like Whatsapp is an excellent and usual one accept by many of us. 
Zoom can be the referential tools for meeting because after all it's in place and accept non licensed contributors without fees. 
So, let's be pragmatical and use whats is working and popular for a majority of countries. 

hope we find a way, the good one ;) ou la moins mauvaise

HI All,
The TTF would happily review these technologies but until we know if ICANN staff would be able to use it, we see no sense in reviewing them. When we did our extensive trial of Loomio we found out that if ICANN is not approving it, than At Large staff are not allowed to use it.  Thus I see no sense in reviewing discord or other technology unless ICANN Org allows staff to participate in our trial.

best,
Judith

I won't comment further because this is not the appropriate forum in which to discuss relative merits of alternatives.
IIRC this kind of comparative evaluation was the main reason that the Technology Tack Force was created. I suggest that it be asked for recommendations.

(I'm not on the TTF and my CC's to it are bouncing. But I'm sure the message can be conveyed. And if I can be of help, just ask.)
