ICANN Security staff are monitoring the recent attacks in Mumbai and have the
following immediate advice for staff and other travelers to the upcoming IGF
Meeting in Hyderabad. <br>
<br>
1) If possible – transit through Mumbai Airport to Hyderabad should be avoided.
</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>Police activity and increased security in Mumbai is already
causing significantly increased delays in transit. Increased security
nationwide will likely affect other cities in India over the next several days
but will cause the greatest delays in Mumbai for the short term.<br>
<br>
2) Novatel Hyderabad and Hyderabad International Convention Centre staff have
advised that additional security and police coverage will be in place for the
IGF meeting. Attendees should be prepared to furnish additional
identification to authorities in transit and at the hotel/conference venues. <br>
<br>
3) No specific information has been developed to indicate that there are
increased threats to the meeting venue but attendees should continue to monitor
the situation and maintain contact with meeting organizers. The
well coordinated attacks in Mumbai appear to target western visitors and ICANN
board and staff should take appropriate precautions to avoid high profile while
in country. <br>
