Thanks Mikey,

 

I would like to campaign for a  Amman,  Jordan remote satélite meeting
option.

 

I am flying ?Easyjet? from London so rebooking is not an option for me
unless the relocation is Europe.

a couple of thoughts?

 

i know that most of you already know this, but "non-refundable" tickets are
often refundable -- there's just a rebooking charge.  when i cancelled my
trip to Nairobi, i think i got all but $150 back from Expedia in the form of
a credit that i had to use up within a year.

 

speaking of Nairobi.  i participated remotely in that meeting and i have to
say that the experience was great.  looking at the $2100 ticket cost to
Singapore (the leading candidate in the rumor mill at the moment) i'd like
to lobby for a US-based remote-participation option.  i love you folks, but
48 hours of plane rides and $2100 to see your faces is pretty steep.

Dear BC Members:


 
http://blog.icann.org/2011/02/middle-east-developments-interfere-with-icann-
41-jordan-meeting/

ICANN announced that the June meeting will not take place in Jordan. A
formal announcement of location 

will be made soon.  I am aware that at least two BC members have already
purchased tickets to Jordan. That is 

regrettable, and I do hope that they are refundable tickets. 

 

Please stay tuned for the formal announcement of the new location of the
June meeting. 

 

I realize that travel to Asia is challenging as well to many BC members, due
to cost and time to travel.

I am told that it is likely that the meeting will be in Asia.
