<br>
The ICANN Board Committee on Public Participation has approved a modified
process for identifying the location of ICANN International Public Meetings. </span><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The bid process by
which ICANN Meeting sites have been chosen in the past inherently limits the
range of choices to cities and venues to those that submit a bid. The goal of
the modified process is to continue to inform and consult ICANN stakeholders on
locations of ICANN Meetings, while ensuring that the venues ultimately selected
provide the best combination of logistics and security for all ICANN Meeting
delegates.<br>
<br>
This modified selection process will maintain the current practice of regional
rotation of ICANN Meetings, and those in the geographic region will continue to
be invited to submit recommendations for specific locations. These recommended
venues, along with others in the region that meet the established selection
criteria, will be considered. The final location for the ICANN Meeting will
then be selected through the evaluation of both community-recommended and
ICANN-identified locations.<br>
<br>
This new meeting site selection process will be implemented beginning with the
40th ICANN International Meeting to be held 13-18 March 2011 in North America.
An announcement requesting location recommendations from the ICANN community
will be posted on 21 July 2010. It will contain the criteria by which sites
will be evaluated.<br>
<br>
IC<u><span style='color:#1E39F7'>ANN welcomes your feed</span></u>back on this
revised meeting site selection process and will consider that input to aid in
future enhancements to the process.<br>
