<p dir="ltr">Hi Seun</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks for the information about the block allocations.<br>
I'd be one thinking that EOI would also be a good idea.<br>
Criteria for selection could be refined from the replies.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Regards,</p>

<p dir="ltr">I believe the meeting locations were already predetermined so it was not realistic to change as suggested. As you may know, call to host ICANN meetings are done in block (I think it's 2 years period) and countries who expressed interest during the application window would have been reviewed and selected. In a situation where the meeting venue changes due to unforeseen circumstances, it becomes a plus for any other region that has a country willing to host at such short notice (while still meeting the hosting requirements). </p>
<p dir="ltr">It's usually a difficult one but that is what it is. Personally, I would have preferred that ICANN open a short call for EOI when such happens so other countries in that particular region affected could express their interest. (Although I don't know if it would have helped in this case since the Zika stuff is considered continental)</p>
