Subject: [bc-gnso] ICANN and Singapore Meeting venue -- announcement to members



Announcement: ICANN has posted the host country site for Singapore, and lists 
two hotels. 
You can book via ICANN's link to the website. However, as usual, there are 
other options for booking and some appear more reasonably priced. 
I went onto Expedia and got lower rate quotes for both those hotels, so members 
may want to check out other options than booking via ICANN/Host country web 
site if you decide to stay at the two hotels affiliated with the venue.  AND, 
as usual, if some of you find other hotel deals, do let colleagues know.  
We will begin to formulate a working agenda for the CSG and BC's meetings 
shortly and will be asking for member input shortly.
I have also been contacted by the IGF Asia, who will hold a two day national 
IGF just before ICANN. They are interested in making business aware of that 
event, which is still under development. 
Three things to do now: ALL OFF LIST BUT IMPORTANT: 
1) Let Benedetta know if you will plan to come to Singapore in person so that 
she can begin to update the meetings list2) If you think you are interested in 
more information about the IGF Asia, let me know off list at 
marilynscade@hotmail.com3) If you are interested in participating in a remote 
hub [if we do arrange that with a sponsoring/coordinating member] in the 
Silicon Valley area of US West Coast, let Benedetta know that as well. That 
would require you to agree to attend thoughat one fixed site, so that it 
justifies asking a member to keep their offices open at extremely late hours. 
Benedetta will also be posting a schedule for further BC member calls shortly.  
[no need to repost about using a calendaring tool/that is under discussion 
within the ExComm/and will be addressed shortly].
