For those who are interested -- the IRC server is back online and fully
operational.
I discourage using it before the GA session starts at 2:00 Eastern time --
comments made there before the meeting officially begins won't be read by
me, other Berkman staff, or the ICANN board, and neither will they be
archived.
Hope lots of you are planning to join us online in a bit more than two
hours!...

The IRC server has suffered some minor difficulties in the last 24 hours --
nothing I couldn't resolve if I were at the server console in Cambridge...
but I'm not, and indeed the entire Berkman "primary technical staff" is
either here in Santiago or on vacation away from Cambridge. That said, I
expect to talk someone through bringing it back up tomorrow morning, and I
do indeed hope it'll be operational by tomorrow afternoon.
If not, I'd take recommendations for a good free, low-bandwidth-friendly,
JAVA-enabled web browser-accessible, ideally-also-IRC-accessible hosted chat
site to use for tomorrow afternoon. Something commercial, something
non-commercial, or something one of you might be able to cobble together on
16 hours notice... any would be good for me. But I do still think & hope we
can get our own server back up and running. Will keep everyone posted.
