Anyone can speak using computer audio and the participant who first raises their hand, will be shown as first in the queue to ensure fair and efficient management of participant input.

Two ICANN staff members, known as a Remote Participation Managers, will be assigned to each virtual room to facilitate questions in the chat room and manage speakers in the queue.

In order to ensure that the maximum numbers of remote participants are able to have their views expressed in a session, please be aware of the following:

• To ask a question in the virtual room, each participant must state their name and affiliation for the record/transcript.

• In the Chat pod in the Zoom Meeting session, you will be asked to use these symbols < > around your question. This will distinguish your question or comment from the other chats happening throughout the session.
