I am sure that there are many reasons why some of us may ultimately not
go, some may be prevented by the issues Adrian pointed out, and others
may choose not to for personal reasons - issues of principle, health
issues, etc.

But one thing is for sure, none of us are responsible for the conditions
that exist in different parts of the world. And none of us are being
compensated for our participation outside of travel reimbursement for
those who decide to accept it (BTW, I no longer do). So NOT ONE of us
can or should be criticized directly or indirectly for not attending
this meeting, or any other, in person.

On a different note, these types of ICANN meetings are not necessary to
"engage" all parts of the world. I have no doubt there are much
effective ways to engage various parts of world than these meetings.
