Whats your point actually unless you were among those consulted who then
determined that the meeting be moved.

Well if the meeting held and only 10 people showed up, it will only show
the reality of how much importance is placed on domain name
business/internet business as whole in Africa and ICANN should worry about
that; Fear of a reduced number of participation should definitely not be
the reason why the meeting was shifted. Neither should fear of Ebola or
terrorism because those are now global issues.

Besides as Poncelet pointed out, the uncertainty in the soccer event was
what we thought informed the uncertainty for ICANN 52 meeting...how about
now that the soccer event is confirmed to be certain. One would ask why
ICANN decide to go certain the other way, except that there had been a
conclusion about this even right from LA ;)

I hope the ICANN representative for Africa will get this further clarified.

Cheers!
