New Delhi Meeting Hotels Information

 

Lower Rates negotiated for 31st International Public Meeting but
participants need to book swiftly

 

8 January 2008

 

MARINA DEL REY, Calif.: The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers has posted hotel information to help participants prepare for
ICANN's 31st International Public Meeting in New Delhi, India from 10-15
February 2008.

 

'New Delhi, similar to other international cities in high season, is
expensive' said Paul Levins, Executive Officer and Vice President Corporate
Affairs. ICANN and the meeting local hosts have worked to achieve lower
rates for participants. 'This negotiation has taken some time, but we are
now holding rooms at negotiated rates. These rates are still high, ranging
from US$354 to over US$400, but they are cheaper than the published rates'
he said.

 

Unfortunately many of these cheaper rates can be held for a short period of
time only given the demand for rooms in New Delhi. If rooms are not booked
by ICANN participants, they will then be released to the general public.

 

There are presently many rooms available in the ICANN block at The
Metropolitan (US$354), Le Meridien (US$379) and The Grand Hotel (US$418) see

'If you plan on attending then you should book now to take advantage of
these lower rates' Mr Levins said.

 

The schedule of events for the New Delhi meeting is currently being
developed and will be posted on the meeting website on 15 January 2008.

 

Each year ICANN holds three meetings in different regions around the world.
These meetings constitute an essential part of ICANN's global
consensus-building and outreach efforts.
