ICANN meeting daily updates

by Kieren McCarthy on June 26, 2007

Daily conference newsletterOne of the problems with ICANN meetings is that so much goes on that it is impossible for people to keep track of it all. I am especially aware of this as (in my role as general manager of public participation) I have been trying to developed a way to let people know simply and easily what has happened.

What I have come up with is a daily conference newsletter, provided each morning that outlines the main meetings of that day alongside short summaries of what happened the previous day. These are handed out at the conference – left at the registration desk, the ICANN booth and on chairs in the main rooms. They are also provided as pdfs on the San Juan meeting website at http://sanjuan2007.icann.org.

Here are the links to the pdfs for today, Tuesday 26 June [pdf] and yesterday, Monday 25 June [pdf]. Any comments on the format or approach are welcome.

At what URL will we find session transcripts posted?

Hi Danny,

When a transcript becomes available it is uploaded to that meeting’s particular webpage.

It appears labelled “transcript” under the presentations and agenda and just above the chatroom.

Nice idea, though I don’t envy you preparing it!

On a sidenote – how are visually impaired users meant to comment on this site if you use an image-based captcha?

Thanks.

I’ll think about a possible solution to the visually impaired issue Michele. The problem is that without some kind of test, the blog gets flooded with spam. Will see if there are better solutions out there.

There are a number of text based alternatives that work very well. If you need any help with blocking spam feel free to pop me an email – I already mentioned I’d be more than happy to help you if needed when I met you in Lisbon

PS: michele@mneylon.com is probably the easiest email :)
