Video: A Community Message from Fadi Chehad �

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi,

She is trying to work on how to communicate and message better the several
announcements and info we got in regular basis to avoid overload but also
to reach better members. Sharing such video can be understood as possible
source of information about the IANA stewardship transition same like the
update made by ICANN staff I shared yesterday. I don't see any malign
intention here.

we are trying to find out what is the best approach to inform members:
summarising announcements, formatting them much better to highlights the
important parts,  giving better  context and background to explain why the
topic is important etc. we are also tweaking and refine the messaging case
by case, learning from the experiences we are having .

let's focus.

Best,

Rafik
