Re: [council] ICANN Meetings in Paris, June 2008

[Robin Gross <robin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the info, Glen.

Is the Meridien the only hotel where ICANN is negotiating rates for  
this meeting?    The special ICANN rate for the Meridien is $320 a  
night, which is very expensive for many participants, so it would be  
great if there could be less expensive hotel options also.
Thank you,
Robin
