ICANN's internal team – including staff from the US (California, Texas, New
Jersey), France and Niger - continued to meet daily over the weekend to discuss
and share information regarding the ICANN Nairobi meeting.<br>
<br>
Today and last night, we had direct contact with the local Kenyan members of
the security planning committee, and there has been an enhanced, on the ground
commitment for additional security and this group will work closely with the
on-site security experts that ICANN has under contract. ICANN's security team
thinks these are strong, positive steps.<br>
<br>
The Kenya National Intelligence Service (NISIS) has increased its efforts to
mitigate potential terrorist threats. The Kenya Anti-terrorist
Police Unit (ATPU) is currently actively involved in the security planning
process and has already started to put detection, as well as other preventative
measures in place. The Kenya Diplomatic Protection unit has also been activated
to assist with the security of the conference. Additionally, covert and overt
security forces are being deployed at the KICC, hotels and venues where
official functions will be held. Additionally, the airport, and road from the
airport to hotels. will be actively monitored and patrolled by security forces.<br>
<br>
It is important for delegates to understand that ensuring a safe conference is
a very important to the Government of Kenya. The country
relies heavily on tourism and strives to be a preferred destination for
international conferences. <br>
We are all seeing community members starting to react to the situation in
Kenya, as they perceive it. There have been posted letters from Neustar and
GoDaddy, among others, indicating that they will not attend or send
representatives. Also, the Intellectual Property Constituency (IPC) has decided
to hold an alternative meeting in New York.<br>
<br>
Others in the community are re-confirming their attendance in Nairobi. In a
note from ccNSO Chair, Chris Disspain, to be posted today, he has confirmed
that the ccNSO is expecting to participate in the Nairobi meeting, as planned,
with all or most all counselors in attendance. Less formally, I've heard that
many in At Large have expressed the same view.<br>
<br>
So, where does this leave all of us?<br>
<br>
The first order of business, is that ICANN will continue to monitor the status
in Nairobi, and will share all relevant information with the community, in
accordance with our goal to be fully transparent . I will ensure we do that on
an ongoing basis.<br>
<br>
We are left with a situation where some people would choose to attend the
meeting, and some choose not to attend, based on exactly the same information.
One answer will clearly not work for all.<br>
<br>
One alternative being discussed is how to better support a meeting where remote
participation is going to be a more significant part of the meeting. What does enhanced
remote participation look like in the context of an ICANN meeting? Remote
participation is a challenge when a minority of participants are using that
mode; if many were, how effective could that be? How would this work with
scheduling, time zones, and the expected meeting formats we've used? Any
comments you have on this would be greatly appreciated. Look for a posting on
the ICANN blog, where you can respond directly.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
