[announce] [icann-announce] Community Input Invited Concerning Rio de Janeiro Meeting

[icann-announce@icann.org]

To the ICANN Community:

Some of you have enquired whether the upcoming ICANN meeting in Rio de 
Janeiro <http://www.icann.org/riodejaneiro/> will go forward as planned 
(23-27 March 2003) in the event of a war in the Middle East.

As of now, ICANN plans to hold the meeting as scheduled.  We recognize, 
however, that institutional policies or personal concerns may affect 
individual decisions to travel, and indeed it may become difficult for some 
of you to attend. 

We wish to be sensitive to the concerns of the ICANN community, and would 
therefore appreciate your current thinking as to whether your plans to travel 
to Rio de Janeiro are likely to change in the light of unfolding international 
events -- or indeed any other advice you might have on this matter.  We would 
particularly appreciate hearing from those of you who would have to travel 
from outside the region.

Because the meeting is close upon us, we would appreciate hearing from you 
no later than Friday, 14 March 2003.

Please send any comments to meeting@icann.org.
