Re: [council] [Soac-infoalert] ICANN57 Hyderabad: What You Need to Know (Part 2) - ICANN

[Rubens Kuhl <rubensk@xxxxxx>]

Considering both hotel and flight information is required for the Conference 
Visa, and Constituency Travel usually defines the hotel just a week before the 
conference, this edition will likely be a lot of fun for councillors relying on 
ICANN funding.
