Re: [council] Preliminary planning for ICANN58



Thank you James.
But here we are working on the 2nd derivative: ICANN hubs for Policy (short) Meetings.
Don´t know if this was also discarded.

Cheers

Just a note that the Meeting Strategy Working Group examined the idea of “rotating hubs”, and rejected them. Mostly by folks from smaller and/or more distant locations who were concerned that ICANN would be permanently absent from their region.

I don’t agree, but that was their finding.

Thanks –

J.

    Ah ok, so the ICANN hubs.
    That makes a lot of sense from a cost and logistics perspective.

        ICANN hubs: LA, Istambul and Singapore.

I assume that those places are central located in terms of airlines logistics, already have a minimum of ICANN staff available, facilites, etc. and would greatly reduce the cost to set up meetings (A recent meeting of the CCT-RT in Washington DC had to fly in as many ICANN staff members as RT members, which calls for more reasonable places to meet, particularly for mainle “working” meetings like the Policy Format
        calls for).
