Warms regards from LAC to all APAC friends! (Hello Javier)

Hello all and welcome to the APAC Space!

@Judith, unfortunately, no, attendees cannot see who else is in the “room”.

I apologise in advance for having to leave this call at half-past for PDP duties elsewhere.

Please ensure that you select from the drop down menu in chat To: "All panellists and attendees

Hello, my name is Sabrina and I will be monitoring this chat room. If you have a comment or question to raise please use the Q&A pod available. Comments or questions placed in the chat here may not be read out. If you would like to speak please feel free to raise your hand to be unmuted.

A kind reminder on the dropdown menu in chat: if you would like to send your message to everyone, please select "Panelists and all attendees".

Can you let us know at least how many attendees are joining us here in APAC Space today

@Cheryl, I believe we are at around 100 attendees (not counting the panelists and session support staff).

We have 119 people right now

I think he said his daughter would be doing the talking

@Cheryl, if you are in the zoom app and you hover over the top bar, you can see there are 16 panelists and 103 attendees? So 119 like what Sabrina mentioned :)

Thank you Jen.. I hadn't noticed that feature before.

you cannot do this on the iPad app

Even in the android app.. 😊

it does not work in all OS's and I am a subscribed Zoom user

@Cheryl, ah good to know

Hi Aisyah, might you still want to speak on Prof’s behalf?

perhaps it will work on the desktop version

It does, Judith

Yes Judith. I am using my laptop

I’m trying to message Calvin Browne about his hand up but I don’t see his name in chat dropdown list for attendees

Hi Calvin, I see your hand is up. Do you have a question for us?

@Pam - do you think it’s better to open the floor for any questions quickly after each speaker?

@Jia Rong - I think either way would work.

As we have a lot of speakers, suggest after 2 speakers we give Pam a minute to ask whether there are any questions and she can facilitate.

Sounds good.

ok!

lost audio?

Jia Rong, ok if we let Aisyah speak briefly after the last speaker?

yes it’s fine

Well noted @Ajay

thank you @cheryl

Pam’s our facilitator for today’s APAC Space! Thank you!

Hi @Pam of course only you can see the attendes we attendees see nothing

Hooray, Pam and thank you!

Thanks Dr.Data

It is a pleasure to be here Pam

@sabrina - nope apologies

As an honorary APAC member (Mexico is in the APAC region although not for ICANN purposes) it is always good to be with my APAC colleagues

@Leon great to have you!

We have 116 participants now. If you might like to see the numbers, please be in full screen view.

Always a pleasure @León

@Leon, you are a member. Thanks!

is knet from Korea?

Thanks Jia Rong and Akinori-san!

Sorry, I have drop off for another call. Best wishes to all.

Thanks Cheryl!

KNET is I think from China, isn’t it?

yes from china

@cheryl - I getthe panelists & attendee figures in my title bar (Linux native client here)

thanks @edmon. us newcomers do not know these companies

Calvin said no question, hand is down now

Not in all OS's @Calvin and not in Full Screen mode either on some systems

Does not seem to work in the Linux version.

(which is why I included my os & type ;-) )

Anyway - heading off to GNSO - take care

so it is nice fore those who can't see the top bar or get the hover cue, for occasional updates, in this 'blind' for other than panelists set up

Thanks for joining Calvin!

The mobile, web, and linux clients are a bit limited compared to Mac/Windows I’ve noticed

Indeed @Korry

Heading over to GNSO also... nice to virtually see you all

great having you Herb!

Sorry if this got answered earlier, but will the slides for this session be uploaded later?

@Korry: Yes :]

@Korry - yes. All our slides will be on the apacspace community wiki page. For easy access: www.apacspace.asia

I have not seen any slides from the presenters so far. Is that right?

@Pam - correct. Not all the speakers have slides.

Ok Aisyah, I’ll let you on briefly for a minute after Manju and before Pam toward the end of session

Thanks, Jia Rong.

For speakers - as usual it’s still better to have slides as it’s easier for others to follow you. Especially for our community as most of us don’t speak English as a native language

@Sabrina & @Jia Rong - Thanks!

take it as feedback for next time!

@Sabrina, we have a question in the Q&A Pod. Would you like me to read that aloud after Antonia’s presentation?

@Pam, yes we can go to the questions after Anotonia. I’ll help you read them

*Antonia

Great. Thanks, Sabrina.

That was excellent by Sophia. Thank you

@Rubens and @Kurt - we’ll come to your questions after Antonia’s sharing

Thank you Sophia for your presentation.

I'm really missing the "all panelists" list & DM capabilities :(

@Jia, thanks.

Thank you everyone. Apology on the missing slides, will have it ready next time:)

@Sophia: No worries, thanks so much for your insightful sharing :)

Thanks Sophia. Venkataramanan from New Delhi

@Rubens - what is the increase in ccTLD registrations in other parts of the world attributed to? In other words, is there data to explain the increase?

Sorry have to leave now.

Just as reference, while written in local language, statistics for .br show that as well:

https://registro.br/dominio/estatisticas/

@Heather, the working theory is that people are being forced to go thru a full digital transformation of businesses.

@Maureen: Thanks for joining us!

@Rubens - not sure I understand 100% what you mean. "People" - is that registrants? and "full digital transformation of business processes" = what, exactly? Sorry, just trying to understand

@Heather, yes, registrants. Digital transformation means moving previously off-line business processes to online processes.

@Rubens - thanks for the information. I wonder how much those few remaining ccTLDs using off-line processes are impacting the global numbers.

@Heather, note that I am mentioning processes changes in the registrants businesses, not in the ccTLD itself. Except for the Caribbean and Africa, most ccTLDs are a pure online operation. APAC included.

I think we can take Afiq’s question later.

Move to next speaker after this

noted on shifting Afiq’s question for later

Understood, Rubens, and that's why I was confused about changes in global numbers

I think we need some deeper data on this to understand why registrants are leaving gTLDs for ccTLDs

@Heather, noting that I am still speculating, it seems the dominant TLD in each market is being favoured. When it's the local ccTLD, like in most countries except the US, it's the ccTLD.

A "bigger gets bigger" situation.

Thanks, @Rubens - there's a great question here for a PhD student to get us to a data-based answer!

Great discussion @Rubens and @Heather :-)

+1 to Akinori. Very interactive session I must say

I am for “bigger gets bigger” theory

On contact tracing privacy, it can be done without hurting privacy:

Have to drop off now. Thanks

Thanks for joining Aftab

Thank you for joining us, Aftab :)

great photo Satish

I also need to move off. Brajesh Jain

great image @Satish

such a great photo

Thank you for joining Brajesh :)

great to see you on video as well Manju!

Looking good Manju!

Love the video!

Yes seeing presenters at least gives us a semblance of networking!

yes just for a brief moment now i just see Sabrina who does not have video

Thank you @Manju!!!

true Cheryl

If anyone is interested in Youth4IG, you can find out more at https://youth4ig.asia/

great to see Manju now

Thanks @Korry

it does really help

We now have a 2nd question in question pod too. I’ll help to read out later

https://y4ig.asia/analysis/

Talking about Youth, the YIGF Asia Pacific 2020 is going virtual this year on 18-20 Sep. Hope that we can have more youth joining the event this year. Program details: https://nma.asia/yigf-2020-registration

https://y4ig.asia/analysis/

youth4ig will be organizing the readout session for youth after icann meeting!so please stay tuned :-)

Maybe a tip: If you experience the speaker window sticks to the previous one, to put it off once and bring it back may work. so to say refreshing.

Sry! Working Link: https://youth4ig.asia/analysis/

Now I see Manju. ;-)

To add to Akinori’s tip, sometimes enlarging your view to full screen helps refresh/update the speaker video and name display

The organising committee of YIGF 2020 wish to touch on the topic of "Privacy Umbrella - “Violation of Data and Privacy in the COVID-19 Era” and "Internet disaster management in and after emergency situations", hope youth from Y4IG will be joining too

glad to hear the alcohol ban being referenced haha

Y4IG, think about joining the planning for the Youth track at the global virtual IGF this year :)

Thanks Manju for sharing the youth perspective

@Jennifer, Will do - unfort I haven't been able to catch many of the calls due to bad time zone, but I've been trying to keep track

Will for sure try to keep us involved

thanks Manju for your thoughts

@Elliott, good to know, yes those calls skew towards the UTC timezone and is more difficult for APAC.

Apologies, all - I have to drop for another meeting, but I very much appreciate the opportunity to get APAC together here. Well done Pam, Jia-Rong, and all speakers.

I think it is important to emphasize that is a lot (or most)of work in ICANN is done between ICANN meetings in WG calls etc and that is before covid19.

Hello Manju, I am from Nepal, will you please send me your email id that I would like to contribute from Nepal.

I miss KL a lot!

Thank you Heather.

we have 5 mins left - need to manage the time

hi aiysha look forward to seeing you tomorrow at theisoc@icann meeting

That's very nice.. 🙂

Can we try to squeeze in the 3 questions?

@Aisyah Thank you!

Join tomorrow at Isoc@ICANN meeting

thank you @aisyah

Timing of ICANN WG calls etc is an ongoing issue for APAC, with calls usually juggling convenience for Europe/UTC and the US and APAC caught between.

Thanks Aisyah

I’ve given up on involvement in several PDPs that scheduled all calls at 3-4am my time!

It certainly ycan take its toll on us 2David

Yet my timezone, UTC+8, has nearly a quarter of the worlds population!

yes please. I believe it’s related to the previous question. thank you anyway for addressing

Thank you all for a good discussion. Heading to another session. Stay safe everyone!

Yes, Cheryl, I certainly feel that meeting that are midnight are 2-3am my time for you, Holly, Heather and others on the East coast.

Thank you @Satish and AJ radio is so often overlooked!! yet essential in many places

Really appreciate the answers from Satish and Ajay! Thank you!

Thanks SO much @Manju I have the page link

Sure, will do Manju

Thank you for facilitating Pam! Very interactive session!

Thank you all.

i put my hand up

Thank you all for joining.

@Cheryl we have our first annual report at https://youth4ig.asia/report/volume-1/ that lists a breakdown of all our membership

hi @Kalpana, my email is manju@nii.org.tw

Great point, Edmon.

indeed.

Never let a crisis go to waste.

Bye for now then... Thanks everyone... let's hope we are not limited to this Webinar format that for our purposes is less than ideal in future APAC Space gatherings, needs must however and I appreciated the efforts for today...

Thank you all
