...
Notes:
- :
- The objective of social media is to share information about At-Large and encourage target audience to engage with the community
- Slack can be a better alternative tool for group chat
- (update from the GSE, slides)
- Note on slide: ICANN is sensitive to this issue but this topic could be considered outside of ICANN’s technical remit. It would be helpful to hear more from At-Large on this recommendation.
- TTF has looked into various tools as alternatives to mainstream social media tools. For example, slack can be used to curate/publish social media content blocked in certain regions. Testing of slack is yet to be done.

- At-Large Workshop on “TOR and alternative naming mechanisms to the DNS” held at ICANN Singapore 2014 https://community.icann.org/x/7CPRAg
- TTF has looked at Group Chat services (https://community.icann.org/x/Hr3hAg) such as Slack, HipChat and Hall.
- At-Large Social Media WG is researching alternative social media platforms where traditional ones are blocked.
- While the TTF considered listing several platforms/services that allow access to blocked services, it was felt that even listing such services could be construed as endorsing breaking of national laws, irrespective of whether we (global At-Large) think such laws/restrictions are unjust.
- :
- TTF has a meeting with David Goulet, Tor developer, and explored social media/communications channels used in regions that block certain mainstream platforms
- :
- ICANN has implemented alternative chat services, such as SLACK, which has the capability to curate tweets and feeds from various social media channels
- ICANN Comms has developed Wechat, Weibo, YouKu to reach the Chinese public that cannot access Facebook, Twitter, etc.
