Far worse.<br> <br> I've been participating in ICANN-67 (Virtual) and although not perfect - the job is getting done extremely well so far. Zoom seems to be working very well. So far - the biggest meeting I have personally experienced has been 187 or so people (ALAC - DoH & DoT discussions - yesterday evening). My biggest issue is every meeting time is in Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico [UTC-5] - local time. The Meetings have a virtual day in that time zone from about 10:00 to 17:00. Despite adding that time zone to my Mobile - it would have been easier I think to simply use UCT/GMT times.</p><p>If we do run this as a Remote Only meeting - can we please use CAT - <strong>Central African</strong> Time. That way - people are either +2 (Mauritius) or -2 (Nigeria) hours from CAT (not sure if anyone works on -3 CAT/-1 GMT ?) ... and to perhaps run meetings from 10:00 CAT to no later than 18:00 CAT.<br> <br> I think this would also end up saving a small fortune in Hotel room bills & flights - etc.</p><p><br></p><div class="ox-0a5783ec2d-moz-cite-prefix">On 2020/03/11 12:22, Darwin Da Costa wrote:<br></div>Good point Andrew - although we don’t have to panic yet about it, it’s always good to have a plan B just in case.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Saw that yesterday: <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-congo-idUSKBN20X20F" class="">https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-congo-idUSKBN20X20F</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Obrigado,</div><div class="">Darwin-.</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><div class="">On 11 Mar 2020, at 10:12, Andrew Alston <<a href="mailto:Andrew.Alston@liquidtelecom.com" class="">Andrew.Alston@liquidtelecom.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="ox-0a5783ec2d-Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="ox-0a5783ec2d-WordSection1" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span class="">What are the plans for a remote meeting in the event that the Corona outbreak continues and it becomes necessary to cancel this event</span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span class=""> </span></div><div class=""><div style="border-style: solid none none; border-top-width: 1pt; border-top-color: #e1e1e1; padding: 3pt 0cm 0cm;" class=""><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri,;" class=""><strong class=""><span class="">From:</span></strong><span class=""><span class="ox-0a5783ec2d-Apple-converted-space"> </span>afnog <<a href="mailto:afnog-bounces@afnog.org" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" class="">afnog-bounces@afnog.org</a>><span class="ox-0a5783ec2d-Apple-converted-space"> </span><strong class="">On Behalf Of<span class="ox-0a5783ec2d-Apple-converted-space"> </span></strong>nancy dotse<br class=""> <strong class="">Sent:</strong><span class="ox-0a5783ec2d-Apple-converted-space"> </span>Saturday, 14 December 2019 00:30<br class=""> <strong class="">To:</strong><span class="ox-0a5783ec2d-Apple-converted-space"> </span>Afnog <<a href="mailto:afnog@afnog.org" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" class="">afnog@afnog.org</a>><br class=""> <strong class="">Subject:</strong><span class="ox-0a5783ec2d-Apple-converted-space"> </span>[afnog] 1st Reminder - AIS 2020 - AfNOG ANNOUNCEMENT - KINSHASA - DRC (ENGLISH)</span></div></div></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""> </div><p style="margin-left: 36pt;" class="">Hello,</p><p style="margin-left: 36pt;" class="">This is the 1st reminder of AIS 2020 AfNOG 2020.</p><p style="margin-left: 36pt;" class="">Interested participants should please apply before the deadline.</p><p style="margin-left: 36pt;" class="">Best regards</p><p style="margin-left: 36pt;" class="">Nancy</p><p style="margin-left: 36pt;" class="">On October 31, 2019 at 8:55 PM nancy dotse <<a href="mailto:nancy@ghana.com" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" class="">nancy@ghana.com</a>> wrote:</p><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""> </div><p style="margin-left: 36pt;" class="">Hi All,</p><div class=""><div class=""><p style="margin-left: 36pt;" class="">I trust all is well.</p><p style="margin-left: 36pt;" class="">AfNOG 2020 is hereby announced.
