  • Ariel Liang & Murray McKercherto explore ICANN's Wechat account 
  • : 
    • ICANN has launched Wechat and YouKu accounts to reach audience in mainland China 
    • Slack can separate conversations based on topics via hashtags and do search of the messages globally. Slack is a good alternative tool for internal communications of the community, especially At-Large. Skype has various challenges, as it can easily loose chat history. Slack has a great mechanism for retaining chat history. It also has various add-ons/integration with other tools. 

Input from Technology Taskforce: 

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.
