Hi Olivier,
Slack was never allowed since there was a cost and ICANN Org did not want to pay for it. It is only available to ICANN staff
They do have a free version, but I think it was limited and was
not authorized by ICANN org.
Staff is investigating what are our options and will give us some options

Bearing in mind this group had tested Slack, was Slack ever considered seriously, or did its shortfalls make it a dead end?
Also - a lot of young people mention "Discord" - again not an Open Source solution...
Best,
Olivier
ps. for someone who is using Skype to dial out to telephone numbers, what are the alternative softwares if Skype is retired?

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