[Latingp] Latin GP face to face meeting in Istanbul on 22-23 June 2017

Wed Apr 12 14:59:03 UTC 2017

Dear Mats,

Yes the hotel is close to ICANN hub office (see the map<https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Gayrettepe+Mahallesi,+Renaissance+Istanbul+Polat+Bosphorus+Hotel,+Be%C5%9Fikta%C5%9F%2F%C4%B0stanbul,+Turkey/Fulya+Mahallesi,+Icann,+Hakk%C4%B1+Yeten+Cad.+Selenium+Plaza+No:10%2FC,+34349+Be%C5%9Fikta%C5%9F%2F%C4%B0stanbul,+Turkey/@41.0569363,29.0026998,16z/data=!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x14cab64d7fa7c613:0x68777ceaecf929d9!2m2!1d29.0103096!2d41.0592029!1m5!1m1!1s0x14cab7a8223a1649:0x71460d0492a56765!2m2!1d28.9999097!2d41.0550569>) – about 6 minutes by taxi.  ICANN office address is available at https://forms.icann.org/en/contact.

In normal traffic, it takes about an hour to get from the airport to this area, where the ICANN office and hotel are.

The intent was to have two full working days for the meeting, 830am-5pm both days.  However, this is up to the GP to finalize.

Regards,
Sarmad

Sarmad and Mirjana,

Is the ICANN Hub Office close to the hotel? What is the address of the hub office?

Do you know how long time that we should count from the Hub office to the Atatürk airport? How late on Friday will we have meetings?

Yours

Dear All,

Based on the response to the Doodle poll, we will plan our face to face meeting in Istanbul, Turkey on 22-23 June, 2017.  Please plan to arrive on 21 June and leave on late 23 June (so that we can have two full days of work).

The meeting will be hosted at ICANN Hub Office in Istanbul.  As a follow up we will start working with the ICANN’s travel team and Istanbul hub to start making the arrangements.  If you are planning to attend, please let us know so that we can make appropriate arrangements.

ICANN will be able to provide travel support for some members.  If you are interested in applying for support by ICANN, we will shortly share a form which you need to fill in and share back.

Regards,
Sarmad

Dear All,

I have set up a doodle poll at http://doodle.com/poll/fdh8ytt4dfrz7mm9[doodle.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__doodle.com_poll_fdh8ytt4dfrz7mm9&d=DwMFAg&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=KTETvEaGPwPcawI-QmNa-kiv-ZBvdgyyLm-mxd028M4&m=AIPPGCSkGn9OrVPCrV8Ky8Do7Zmj__sjycdBn8O-1lE&s=cZYEU5CmA7VF-36CAPvLTuVb8txWlYeLrfI0p933PgQ&e=>.  Please indicate the days you can be available (plan to arrive a day earlier and leave late the third working day) for the 2.5 day face to face meeting.  Again, please be generous with the possibilities you mark, so that we can find a set of days which are suitable for most members.

I have just put in a representative time, but consider the days fully booked :-)

The meeting is being scheduled at ICANN’s Istanbul Office.

Regards,
Sarmad

Dear All,

As discussed during our previous call, we are planning to have a face to face meeting for the Latin GP.  This will be a 2.5 day meeting, to allow the Latin GP members to make progress.

Currently the ICANN Office at Istanbul, Turkey is being considered as the possible location for hosting the meeting.  We are considering late June, but before the ICANN 59 week, as the tentative dates.  I will send an invitation for a doodle poll for finalizing the final set of dates soon.

ICANN will be able to provide support for a limited number of Latin GP members.  Mirjana will be sharing details about how to apply for this support.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Sarmad
