    • 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://icann-community.icannatlassian.orgnet/wiki/x/7CPRAgWfnuBQ 
  • TTF has looked at Group Chat services (https://icann-community.icannatlassian.orgnet/wiki/x/Hr3hAgLijwBQ) 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
