[bc-gnso] Involuntary Reservation change by Hilton Prague

["Marilyn Cade " <marilynscade@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nick, thanks for the immediate followup to my urgent notification to you that 
Business participants who used the ICANN link to the Hilton Prague were 
"walked" beginning Friday, to remote hotels, w/out ICANN notice. We do not 
expect such actions from venue hotels. 

As I alerted you and others on staff, at the insistent concerns of affected BC 
attendees, I  appreciate that the Meetings staff - you and others -  were 
responsive to our calls for information. 


I will advise my members of your commitment to advise me, as chair of one of 
the constituencies of the assurance to return our reservations on Monday. I 
cannot assure of confidence in ICANN, as we were not notified by ICANN of 
change, although we all used the ICANN link to Hotel to book. As you can 
imagine, and implicated by ecperiences in Dakar, confidence in ICANN is low. 

However, - I  will update daily of ICANN's response and work closely w you, and 
the most senior staff Rod and Akram.

In the meantime, we will gather affected parties, and will continue to  advance 
collaboration w the meeting staff as they restore reservations.  

I am of course reachable  at the usual email and number: marilynscade@
