[NCUC-DISCUSS] Concerns about Coronavirus (2019-nCOV) and the Cancun Meeting ?

[Bruna Martins dos Santos]

Dear NCUC,

You might have already seen news about the cancellation of the Mobile World
Congress and some other parts of the IG community concerns with regards to
the Corona Virus and upcoming events. Yesterday ICANN CEO sent us the email
below asking for the community leaders to check with their SOs and ACs
whether there is any concerns with the upcoming ICANN meeting, to be held
in cancun.

Therefore, I would like to ask you all how is NCUC on that matter. Do we
feel like we should support the decision for ICANN to keep its plans of
organizing the Cancun meeting in 5/4 weeks? Are there any travel concerns ?

Highly appreciate any feedbacks you can provide as we need to send our
Constituency's opinion to the CEO.

best regards,
Bruna Santos
NCUC Chair

Dear Community Leaders:



As you know, ICANN org is actively monitoring developments worldwide
concerning the novel coronavirus (2019-nCov). We take the health and safety
of our staff, Board and community members very seriously and wish to do the
right thing to continue to ensure that everyone remains safe and informed.
In this regard, you may have heard that some international conference
organizers are, like ICANN, monitoring and evaluating the locations and
timings of their events. Earlier today, the GSM Association (GSMA)
announced that it was canceling the Mobile World Congress (MWC) that had
been scheduled to take place in Barcelona from 24-27 February 2020.



In light of these developments, I write now to ask whether you have heard
any concerns from amongst your members or other community members about
traveling to Cancun for ICANN67. While we have no immediate plans to cancel
or reschedule the Cancun meeting, it will be very helpful to hear the
community's feedback so that we can take it into account in our planning.
As such, please let me or David Olive know if you or your group have
information or concerns you would like to share. In the meantime, please
refer to this blog post by ICANN org's Vice-President for Security
Operations for information on how ICANN org is handling this important
matter:

Thank you.
