Ms Veronica Cretu
Mr Mohammed El Bashi
Mr Ron Sherwood
Ms Nguyen Thu Hue

French Channel:

Ms Hawa Diakite
Ms Fatima Seye Sylla

Please make sure all dial-out requests are made at least 48 hours before the meeting starts. This allows us to start the meeting on time

If you are in a country without a toll-free number (see list below), please use the form at http://go.adigo.com/go/outlink.php?sid=7298. You will then get a dial-out to attend remotely. IMPORTANT: please precede your country code with 011 instead of 00. The dialer will only be able to ring you if you use 011. This facility is for use once a call has started. It will not work to schedule a dial-out in advance.

The standard dial-out numbers are for English participation. If you would like to be on the Spanish or French channels, please send an email to staff@atlarge.icann.org and provide us with two alternative phone numbers and the language of your choice as operators must dial out to all those participating in languages other than English. If we do not hear from you we will assume that you are either not joining the call or planning to participate in English.

The operators will call those who have requested dial-outs starting approximately 10 minutes before the meeting starts. Please make sure you are ready to accept the call. If the operators have to ring you back, this will end up delaying the start time for all participants.

DO'S and DONT'S:

  • The audio quality of the teleconference is greatly improved if participants use landlines instead of mobile telephones. Mobile phones are also much more likely to be dropped than landlines.
  • VoIP services are disruptive of line quality for everyone, even when you mute yourself. Please do not use such services.
  • When you are on the call and not speaking, please use *6 to mute yourself. When ready to speak, use *7 to un-mute.

PROBLEMS DURING CALLS

  • If you have a problem during the call, please send an IM to the Adigo call operator at AOL/AIM ID: d4500. You may also use *0 on the telephone keypad to ask an operator to help you.
  • If your line is dropped, please do not send emails to the staff or other participants. They are unlikely to be watching their inboxes during the call. Please instead either IM the conference operator or contact the staff on Skype, AOL IM, or Windows IM; the contact information for all staff persons is in the signatures of their emails.
