Then, a recommendation to Chairs of ACs and SOs: ICANN Board and CEO could be requested to set up a specifications sheet for a desirable conferencing tool, based on needs expressed by the multi-stakeholder community, and publish that as a tender. Offers received
could then be reviewed not only by Staff, but in consultation with ACs and SOs.<br>

This would get us closer to what we, collectively, consider as the appropriate tool for the numerous conference calls held throughout ICANN.<br>

- works brilliantly... <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Unfortunately open systems companies don't respond to tenders... <br>
</div>
<div>I suggest such a tender is written to support the use of open systems rather than the "provision of a closed software solution" </div>
