It took less than 24 hours—one day—for Hurricane Maria to devastate Puerto 
Rico and many of its neighbors, but it will take years for them to recover. 
It is an understatement to say that for everyone affected, the journey back 
to their once normal lives will be long, painful, and economically 
challenging.

ICANN joins the rest of the world in extending heartfelt hopes that Puerto 
Rico will experience a speedy recovery. We want to back up that sentiment 
by publicly expressing our strong desire to keep ICANN61 in the Puerto 
Rican capital of San Juan.

The public meeting is scheduled for 10-15 March 2018. Our sincere hope is 
that by that time, recovery on the island will have advanced to the point 
where our meeting can proceed as scheduled. It is one way that we can all 
show meaningful economic support for this storm-battered U.S. territory.

We are working with our hosts to closely monitor the recovery efforts on 
Puerto Rico, and will keep the ICANNcommunity apprised as the date of our 
meeting draws nearer.

If it is determined that the recovery efforts don’t advance to the point 
where San Juan can reasonably support a conference that will likely draw 
several thousand, we will then look for an alternative location. At this 
point however, that is neither our desire nor our intention.
