<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I just checked the Brussels meeting website to register and
saw that the official hotel has yet to be posted. I have also heard a
rumor that the ICANN staff/board have taken up all of the rooms in an
undisclosed hotel and in speaking with the Brussels .EU team here, they advised
that we select “any hotel near the central station”. Andrew
Mack suggested Le Meridien Hotel, and I just looked it up to find that it is,
in fact, very close to the station, Grande Place and most importantly, Square
Brussels Meeting Centre where the meeting will take place. Unless Philip
has another recommendation, being that he is ‘on the ground’ in Brussels,
I would suggest that we consider Le Meridien as the ‘BC hotel’ for
the Brussels meeting.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
