[NCUC-DISCUSS] 2017 ICANN Meetings

[Seun Ojedeji]

Hi,

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).

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)

Regards
