<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px"><div><span style="font-size:14px;">Hi Sam and Klaus,</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14px;">Might I first state that it does not surprise me that the first few responses to this idea come from leaders of the NPOC. The NPOC use of Twitter is exceptional and far surpasses anything the NCUC or NCSG does in social media. People might want to take a look at @NPOC_ICANN. I find NPOC's tweets to be very helpful.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14px;">I share your joint concern that 1) use of the app might not be widespread and 2) if we did it we'd be scoping to no one. </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14px;">?For those not familiar with the app, Periscope, which is owned by Twitter, allows for live broadcasting from events using your mobile phone. You can watch it on your phone, tablet or within your browser. Scopes remain accessible for 24 hours. For example, here is a bit of last night's Bruce Springsteen concert, from the balcony:</span></div>

<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14px;">?Or a behind the scenes look at the Phoenix Fox 10 newsroom this morning:</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="https://www.periscope.tv/w/aW-nmTF6WUViRHFhcndLZXh8MWxQSnFnUVpBZW5LYjruQ9jeKp5HlMbDcxcH2Nvdc5yg7c6sYhT1ZADWUUFE" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" target="_blank">https://www.periscope.tv/w/aW-<wbr />nmTF6WUViRHFhcndLZXh8MWxQSnFnU<wbr />VpBZW5LYjruQ9jeKp5HlMbDcxcH2Nv<wbr />dc5yg7c6sYhT1ZADWUUFE</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14px;">?Both of these videos will one gone within the day. </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14px;">In my view, Periscope would be a way to take all of our members "behind the scenes" at an ICANN meeting or event. That said, although the app has exploded with younger people our membership trends a bit older. It is Apple's "App Of The Year" and, although only launched in March of last year, has widespread adoption amongst the under 25's. I use it but I'm not your typical NCSG member (nor, sadly, am I under 25). </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 14px;">I'll leave the question out there for response. If there are people who are using Periscope, or want to, and would like me to try to do something with it at the intercessional meeting please let me know. If not, perhaps we can revisit the idea down the road, when the installed base is a bit larger.</span></div>

Periscope is available on IOS (Apple) and on Android (which drives a lot of tablets as well as cell phones).<br />
My first question, having not looked at the specs, is since this includes "yet-one-more-app" is it superior enough to what we normally use to warrant additional apps and learning?<br />

As you said, sounds like a good idea. I do not have a smartphone myself and live a appless life, but looking at their www site, it might work and be worthwhile doing.<br />
Maybe the questions is, will there be enough people interested to receive what we send? Or in other words, how can we ensure that people receive what we send.<br />
