[council] RE: [Soac-infoalert] ICANN56 to be Relocated


With respect, the thought of spending 4-6 days, 8-12 hours per day, in virtual 
meeting rooms is quite disagreeable to this Council member. Three hour CCWG 
calls are already close to the limit.



There's no real substitute for face-to-face interaction, IMHO.

Maybe it’s time for ICANN to experiment with a full virtual meeting, connecting 
hubs around the world.

The costs associated with having to change locations on a reasonably frequent 
basis are, I’m sure, not trivial. Not to mention an enormous strain on the Nick 
and his team.

ICANN56 to be Relocated

ICANN56, scheduled to be held in Panama in June 2016, will be moved to another 
location due to the severity of the Zika Virus outbreak in the Latin America 
region. A search is currently underway to identify an alternate location where 
the Zika Virus is not a concern. We look forward to returning to Panama for a 
future ICANN Meeting.
