The end-to-end (E2E) encrypted meetings outage should be near fully operational for Mason users.

There is a known issue at this time with users connecting to American based servers from Japan and Syria; this is to be addressed today as Cisco support rolls out the fix in these areas. We plan to keep the Cisco support incident open and will update ITS Alerts with an after-action report. We apologize for the inconvenience this outage may have caused.
