I believe that meetings should remain within their region (at least until such time as we no longer have
a framework requiring regional rotation of meetings), so if the March 2018 meeting does not go ahead in Puerto Rico (and I think it should - relocating the meeting given the circumstances would be a disproportionate response), it should
remain in North America, as defined by ICANN's geographic regions framework. I know this does not always happen in practice, but I was firmly opposed to relocating the meeting from Latin America to Europe last year. All this aside I do not think
it is the best use of our limited time with the CEO to discuss venue locations, let alone for a meeting in excess of 12 months time. </div>

<br>I agree w/ Ed but also

<br>* With the visa travel ban, organizations such as IETF and ISOC are
<br>reviewing their actions for the time period the USA will be subject to
<br>their new president mandate, ICANN also issued a communiqué on this
<br>matter. What are the strategies in place to ensure international
<br>participation remains a reality in ICANN? Specifically updates on:
<br>1) Will there be a contract with a visa agency to help with travel
<br>arrangements?
<br>2) Will the meeting in Puerto Rico remain as planned? Couldn't it move
<br>to Mexico?
<br>3) Will ICANN reassure its commitment to diversity, which NCUC is
<br>devoted to work towards too in WS2, and work on increasing
<br>participation and leadership position from developing and least
<br>developed countries and women?
<br>4) ICANN jurisdiction being in the USA, can we be assured ICANN will
<br>try to safeguard legally its international status?
<br>5) Is ICANN monitoring the transition process of the Secretary of
<br>Commerce, given that with the former appointee ICANN had extensive
<br>dialogue which ensured the IANA transition came to completion?

<br>Hi Farzi,
<br>
<br>Here's one:
<br>
<br>Ninety seven American hi tech companies signed an amicus brief supporting
<br>the State of Washington's lawsuit against United States President Donald
<br>Trump (
<br><a href="http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/business/amicus-brief-by-tech-com" target="_blank">http://apps.washingtonpost.com<wbr>/g/documents/business/amicus-<wbr>brief-by-tech-com</a>
<br>panies/2322/ ) and his travel ban.
<br>
<br>ICANN is an American high tech corporation impacted by the ban.
<br>
<br>Did:
<br>
<br>1. ICANN consider joining with its fellow American hi tech companies in
<br>signing onto this brief?,
<br>2. If so, why did it decide not to do so?
<br>3. If not, why not?
<br>4. Does the CEO agree that the travel ban has serious repercussions for
<br>ICANN? If so, what does ICANN intend to do, if anything, to mitigate the
<br>harm this ban is causing and potentially will, if extended, continue to
<br>cause ICANN corporate and community?
<br>
<br>Thanks for considering,
<br>
<br>Ed Morris
