I think we should all just meet at Phil's house:
Best,

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.
