<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><br>
I have been doing more research on the options for travel and hotels in
Nairobi, Kenya,for the upcoming ICANN meeting and wanted to share my
experiences, for what they are worth, with other BC members. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>I
also looked into the security issues; talked to a couple of folks who travel to
Kenya regularly, and got some helpful information and advice. If anyone is
interested, I'll volunteer to set up a call with those 'regulars' who travel or
who are in country, before we travel. In the meantime, of course, I closely
watch the various 'alerts' from US State, Canadian, UK government, and a couple
of other sources, since I travel rather frequently to a wide number of
countries around the world as part of my business. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>If
there are business constituency members who want to 'get the scoop' and hear
about what the advice is from an experienced group of travelers, we can do a
small and low profile 'discussion' call. No need to make this a big deal, since
only those who are thinking of attending would be interested. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Several
of you will be booked at the venue hotel, or may be booked by the ICANN staff
[e.g. Councilors] so you may not be interested in these additional
options, but for some members, who may be considering but haven't finalized
travel, this might be useful. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

me know, off list, if you would like to have such a call and I'll coordinate
with those friendly advisors I have beneffitted from. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
