[NCUC-DISCUSS] 2017 ICANN Meetings

[William Drake]

Hi

It’s unclear whether Puerto Rico will be a problem, not only because of Zika, but also Chikungunya, which is pretty serious.  http://www.salud.gov.pr/Sobre-tu-Salud/Pages/Condiciones/Chikungunya.aspx  Meeting staff will research etc.  Hopefully it’s under control by then...

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).

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)
