[NCUC-EC] Fwd: ICANN 57?

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi everyone,

just sharing this, I am assuming that we don't need to support a joint
letter since we are not impacted that much by the change and not
necessarily concerned by setting a hub in Las Vegas.

Best,

Rafik

Since ICANN announced last week that it rescheduled ICANN 57 to Hyderabad,
India, and number of my RySG members have told me that they don’t plan to
attend. The most common reason given is cost: people planned for North
America (San Juan or Las Vegas), and can’t afford/get approval for the
significantly higher airfare and accommodations given existing budgets.



Are you hearing the same from your constituents?



Is there interest in signing a joint letter to ICANN noting the financial
concerns and asking that ICANN set up a hub site in North America (perhaps
Las Vegas)?
